We're changing things up at the Biscuit on the Wednesday Trio night! Let's call it... the Danielle Reich Trio Rotation. DRTr? We'll be creating unique combinations of fantastic Houston (and even some non-Houston) jazz musicians every week. A veritable feast for your ears.
I'm thrilled to kick off the month performing with guitarists Josh Breier & Ray Wilson on Wednesday, May 6. I work with each of them individually at Ouisie's Table - working with them together is truly a musical treat that I dare not go on about further, for fear of sounding too gushy. Just come listen.
I'm equally thrilled to feature such musicians as trumpeter Carol Morgan (coming down from Philly to perform at Cezanne's with her NY-based trio on May 15 & 16) and keyboardist Andrew Lienhard later in the month. Keep an eye on the calendar, or sign up for the email list (or facebook/myspace fan pages) to find out who will be featured each week.

As it turned out, Thomas' flight was delayed coming back from the Cape Cod Jazz Fest, so Erin & I performed as an "intimate duo" (spin...) on the Great Day show this morning (see below). We should be able to post a clip sometime after the show. :)Until then, here's a rather op photo taken by the Great Day staff from their "Behind the Scenes" files:
Caption from the Good Day website: "Danielle Reich brought the international flare, making everyone feel as though they were in a French Cafe."

My hosting service, HostMonster.com, accidentally deleted my website. My backup has
some misplaced photos and sound files. Beware dead links. I'm correcting them as I find them.
If you are motivated to email me about one, please be very specific about the link, and
what page the link is on.
Despite this error, I still recommend HostMonster.com's
services, as they seem to have the biggest bang for your buck.
