By John Sollenberger 12/24/2009
SATURDAY NIGHT, AFTER THE HOLIDAY HUBBUB HAS DIED DOWN, RELAX OVER dinner at redwhite+bluezz, where you’ll see acoustic jazz and Latin jazz guitarist Greg Porée and his band perform.
A seasoned and well-traveled LA musician who has performed countless live shows, Porée served as lead guitarist on the series “Dancing with the Stars.” The ace guitarist has also been musical director, arranger and producer for such notable personalities as Ray Charles, Herbie Hancock, Sting, Phoebe Snow, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and numerous others. He pulls influences from a wide range of styles — from Bach to the Beatles to Motown.
Saturday night, Porée performs with Robert Kyle on sax, Keith Jones on bass and Cristino Novelli providing percussion.
Along with the main jazz club show, guitarist Jesse Bradley performs that night in the grill.
Porée starts at 7 p.m. Saturday; Bradley performs at 6 p.m. at redwhite+bluezz, 70 S. Raymond Ave., Pasadena. Call (626) 792-4441.
