October 24, 2009: Mary Kadderly
Come welcome autumn in at the West Café in downtown Portland with the distinctive jazz of Mary Kadderly on Saturday, October 24.

Mary 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 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 on Saturday, October 24.  There’s never a cover charge.
