First off thank you so much for supporting our "Third Thursdays at the Bootlegger." It was a party and we had a blast!!
One of the best gypsy jazz guitarists in the world, Gonzalo Bergara, will be playing this Wednesday 2/24 10 PM at the Bootlegger Bistro. Bergara is one of the new breed of modern gypsy jazz guitarists and this international recording artist is very passionate, musical, and melodic! He will perform with his quartet which includes a rhythm guitarist, upright bassist and the fantastic saxophonist/clarinetist Rob Hardt!
Trust me it's going to be killer! Please help me spread the word to all jazz and world music fans!
The concert starts at 10 PM. (For all you musicians if you can make it after your gigs you wont be disappointed! The event is free and we'd like to thank the Bootlegger for hosting this. Let's show the world that Las Vegas can support jazz artists and their music!!

Above, before the show, as they cycled through the grid, testing the scenes. These peeps have done everything thing we could have asked for and more to make the presentation vivid and successful. Major props and gratitude to the Trop LV management and staff.
Below, the unreal Brandon Fields again in the house! Yikes!
Yeah, man, what a hang...
Great set list tonight, Mostly legacy stuff, and all right in the pocket, with the minor exception of Nathan's "Come With Me," which sometimes gets rushed just a bit, as it was tonight. I'm probably the only one who notices (aside from Jerry and the cats). OTOH, "You Need A Hero" simply stomped ass, it was so on the money.
Below, the beautiful and talented Michaelina Bellamy gracing the post show big band set in the Celebration Lounge. Slammin'!
