Lex Valk Evening of Jazz & Blues

Tuesday, July 20th, 2010

Title: Lex Valk Evening of Jazz & Blues
Location: Ovations Houston
Description: • Houston\’s jazz community is coming together on Sunday, August 8, in support of bassist Lex Valk, whose wife Mary is battling an insidious form of cancer. The treatment costs have proven staggering, which for a musician without insurance can create an insurmountable financial crisis. Fortunately, friends and colleagues from the music community have hatched a plan.

A nucleus of musicians will host an evening of jazz and blues with all proceeds going directly to the Valk family. A few of the world-class artists performing will be Category 5, Cody Moffett Jambalaya, Danielle Reich, Eddie Lewis Living Rhythm, Joe Locascio & Woody Witt, The Thomas Borling band, and Tianna Hall. There will also be an extended open-mic jam session. Of course, Lex will be an on-hand manning the bass whenever possible.

This will be an incredible musical experience for a wonderful cause. Join us for a $10 minimum donation that goes entirely to the Valk Family. There will also be a silent auction and CDs for sale!

Ovations Night Club is located at 2536 Times Boulevard in Rice Village (at the intersection of Times & Kirby). It is a beautiful venue with a full bar and free parking.

Houston Looses a Great Piano Bar Performer

Monday, April 12th, 2010

Carlos & Russ,  2002Sunday, April 11, Houston lost one of her great entertainers, Russ White.  Called Mr. Piano Bar by many, Russ played piano solo and open mic gigs around Houston for over 50 years.  A product of the U of H music program, Russ performed with greats like the Chad Mitchel Trio, Kenny Rogers, Bobby Doyle, Tony Campise and the Bice Squad.  A unique combination of class clown and accomplished musician, Russ could plan any song in any key, often augmenting the lyrics to be unexpectedly funny.  Over the years he attracted hundreds of musicians and singers who would come out to sit in with him as he entertained people around the baby grand.  He was truly amazing, in the 15 years that I worked with him,  I can count on one hand the number of times Russ could not play the tune, in the special key requested by the open mike guest.  Many of us the patiently schooled into performers with respectable books both instrumentally and vocally.  If you were serious about learning he was serious about teaching year, and giving you every chance to excel.

Everyone Please Come to the
