One of the main challenges over the past month or so was figuring out some way to start dealing with the immense set of details that go into puttin on an event of this size while trying to play in my band on Friday's at Spaghettini's, do the China Club All Star gigs whenever they came up, continue touring with Eric, and keep from passing out due to sheer exhaustion. I hired Nat Scott to help with the project co-ordination for the gig
on October 28, and we got started making the phone calls to get artists
lined up for the event. The artists you see on the poster to the right
are some of the best in LA, if not the world. I have worked with each of
them in past situations as well.
Greg Vail was a natural choice for this because he is a great parent, and has done a lot of charity work before and is quite active at Saddleback Church as well as being one of the best musicians around. Ndugu and Alphonso are LA studio and touring vets with a ton of experience and excitement between them! You just wont believe how great they are until you come see the show. Click on the poster to the right, and you can read everybody's bios, look at pictures, order tickets online, even become a volunteer for the club if you want. We will be probably adding a female vocalist to the line up sometime soon, so check with the Club to get more information about added guest stars between now and the event. All in all, I am thrilled to be hosting and performing this year for
such a great cause, and will be looking forward to seeing you and the LA
Jazz Community there on October 28 at the Pasadena Civic!
All the best,
Rob Mullins
