West Cafe Jazz Calendar March 2009

March 7 2009: Carri Bella

Downtown Portland Jazz Bar and Restaurant features Carri Bella Saturday, March 7.

Join us Saturday, March 7, for live jazz with Carri Bella [http://www.myspace.com/carribellajazz] on vocals. Take advantage of our warm fireplace and enjoy a little swing and bossa nova with a torch song or two. Carri Bella’s exquisite voice has been likened to “the whimsy of Annie Ross in one moment and the sultry stylings of Julie London in the next.”
Since our dining room is completely open to the lounge, every seat in the house is great. Come in for dinner (all ages, all hours), or have a signature cocktail in the bar.
Always free!

March 28 2009: Mary Kadderly

Say farewell to March at the West Café in downtown Portland with the distinctive jazz of Mary Kadderly on Saturday, March 28.

Join us at the West as we continue our countdown to spring and say “Ta Ta” to the month of March with jazz from acclaimed Portland singer Mary Kadderly on Saturday, March 28. Kadderly’s smoky vocals recall Natalie Cole in her “Unforgettable” phase, though she can get sassy and coy like Kay Starr, be as coolly detached as Sade, and ooze overt sensuality like Julie London. More information can be found at http://www.marykadderly.com/index.htm.
The West always has a cozy seat reserved for you. So come on in and dine, drink, unwind and enjoy the jazz. There’s never a cover charge.
