03/04/2024

Before the show started we were told that it would be an evening you would remember for the rest of your life, and last Saturday evening's concert with Joy Harjo turned out to be exactly that! I now know why she was a three term poet laureate for the U.S. Congress and was just recently informed she would be receiving the 2024 Robert Frost Medal for poetry. However, her humility is so powerfully quiet, she didn't mention either one of these facts during her entire time on stage. Her quartet included Nathan Eicher on bass, George Toumayan on drums and Josh Westbrook on guitar.

Joy Harjo transported the audience into her personal dreams with poems spoken, over incredibly sensitive jazz music, that painted images and opened windows into the important events of our lives. Joy Harjo is more than a poet, and an incredible jazz saxophone musician; she is the epitome of an artist who possesses a spiritual awareness of the meaning of everything we see as well as the things around us that are usually invisible. Her poetry and music has a simple spirituality that reflects her Native American beliefs, and for everyone listening becomes a channel for what I believe is akin to the holy spirit.

She invites listeners to mix their memories, with her poetry and songs, into something that reconnects with themselves, with the land, and with the truth. She does it all with a calming resonance that most of us so rarely experience, yet we are comfortable with the feeling it leaves in our soul - and we usually are afraid to acknowledge.

These kind of experiences and evenings, ...
"You remember for the rest of your life!"

The Tres Amigos last show of this season will be:
JD SOUTHER
Friday, April 19th - 8:00 PM

01/20/2024

Last night, at the UCO Jazz Lab, in the introduction the audience was told that if you didn’t know “Who Peter Asher was?” before the show was over, you certainly would. That statement turned out to be prophetic to most attendees. The 79 year old (80 in June) recipient of the Commander of the British Empire has enjoyed at least three lives in the music business: as a singer and guitarist, as an executive for the Beatles’ Apple Records, and as a manager and producer of James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt, over the more than fifty years of his musical career. Jeff Alan Ross, the keyboardist in Mr. Asher’s quartet, assisted with the vocal harmonies that used to be filled by Gordon Waller. Completing the foursome was Aubrey Richmond providing harmony vocals, playing violin and mandolin, as well as Jennifer Oberle on base who also sang harmonies, and provided a wonderful lead vocal on “Blue Bayou.”

The entire performance includes film footage and photos from Peter’s considerable personal archive, brought to life with his storyteller’s gift, as it transported the audience back to the heart of 1960s. Mr. Asher delighted the audience with stories of his sister's, Jane Asher, romance with Paul McCartney (who moved into the Asher house), and of John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s meeting for the first time at the Indica Gallery, a hip London hangout he founded with John Dunbar and Barry Miles. He conjured stories that, for all who were present now recognize, was musical history in the making and the infancy of the “British Invasion” in the U.S.

Mr. Asher began the evening regaling the patrons with stories of his acting roles as a child before explaining how he was fortunate to record “A World Without Love,” which was written by Sir Paul McCartney. Prior to, and in addition to, “Blue Bayou,” Asher and the band performed the Peter and Gordon hits “I Go to Pieces,” I Don’t Want to See You Again,” “Nobody I Know,” “True Love Ways,” and their last Top 10 hit, “Lady Godiva.”

An unexpected, yet, pleasantly surprising & rewarding experience occurred when Peter asked a UCO student, Mason Longey, to come out of the crowd and play trombone on the song. It is moments like this that make us see the value in continuing to support the Tres Amigos (non-profit) programs, and who truly benefits from the profits of these concerts.

After they concluded the show with (an audience in participation version of) “ A World Without Love,” the proper British gentlemen that he is, Commander Asher came out and signed his books, CD's, and any memorabilia that was presented before him, such as old Peter and Gordon albums & personal photos. The members of the band were also out and about taking photos with, and chatting up, the concert attendees. With his vintage pictures and television clips (such as Peter and Gordon’s first appearance on the Ed Sullivan show) last night reminds all of us, who were living then and still remember, of how very young we were and how much our lives were changed by this incredible cultural paradigm shift.

10/22/2023

Arguably more popular in Europe than in the United States, jazz singer Stacey Kent and her husband (since 1991), the British tenor saxophonist Jim Tomlinson, graciously entertained a 'Sold-Out' Tres Amigos crowd Saturday night for the fifth time since 2008. On their last stop in the U.S. before leaving for Hong Kong, the pair showed how they have steadily continued to elevate and expand their musical talents and scope. Accompanied by the virtuoso musicians her band — Art Hirahara on piano, Tom Hubbard on bass and Anthony Pinciotti on drums - with her soft, pert voice, Ms. Kent’s performed a plethora of numbers that mixed bossa nova classics by Antonio Carlos Jobim with American standards, and new songs from her latest album to be released on November the 10th.

Mr. Tomlinson, whose smoky tenor sax recalls Stan Getz, has added the flute to his instrumental arsenal. He also contributed with vocal harmonies. Both the flute and his incredible vocal harmonies (the first time in 5 trips Brenda & I have ever heard him sing!) were accomplished with the same attunement to atmosphere and mood that he does with his horn.

The more softly Ms. Kent sang, the more feeling she conveyed. She was at her most insightful when she slowed the pace so that you couldn’t help but absorb the words of the ballads she sung in an unaffected, vibrato-less voice, unaltered or enhanced by digital technology. Ultimately, what she and Mr. Tomlinson brought to the UCO Jazz Lab was their own personal, still-evolving love story.

Please consider joining us for the next Tres Amigos Concert on Friday, January 19, 2024 when Peter Asher returns back the UCO Jazz Lab! There are still about 30 tickets remaining!

Last Saturday night at the UCO Jazz lab, set against the backdrop of a small living room, the trio “Girl Named Tom” (the first group act to win in the history of “The Voice”) performed for a Sold-Out and eagerly awaiting audience. Their concert was characterized by tight, perfectly blended harmonies, personal stories, original songs, and covers. Their intimate acoustic performances of “Wichita Lineman,” “Dust in the Wind,” and “The Chain” brought the audience to their feet after each. My personal favorite was a new song written by them and not even released yet, “Like I Do.” Their encore of “Helplessly Hoping,” was every bit as powerful as what you saw on NBC in the “Blinds” when they had a 4-Chair turn.

The passion and deep bond between these three siblings is so palpable, that from the perspective of the audience you understand their love for music and their joy in singing music to others. Family harmonies have become icon in the music industry. For me, this is like the Everly Brothers with a sister (that happens to have a boy’s nickname)! This was the first time that “girl Named Tom” has ever played in the state of Oklahoma. It WILL NOT be their last!

2 weeks from this Friday, 20 October, come hear “Stacey Kent” – the second show in the Tres Amigos Fall 2023 – Spring 2024 Season!

If you missed the 'Tres Amigos' concert last night at The UCO Jazz Lab you missed one of the most epic and historic evenings to ever happen on the stage of this uniquely celebrated and intimate venue in Edmond, Oklahoma! In an event that was co-presented by 'Broadway Tonight' (the ultimate 'Sax' Machine) "Blue Lou" Marini with some of his Blues Brothers Buddies (and newly coronated Amigos) Lee "Funkytime” Finkelsten on drums, James "Haggs” Haggerty thumping on bass, "Rusty” Cloud mesmerizing on keyboards, David “I Can’t Perform Like This!” Spinozza smokin' on guitar and Lou Marini III "Louie Tre" on vocals created one incredible blues and jazz performance to culminate the celebration of 20 years of Tres Amigos concerts at the Jazz Lab!

From the rousing “Peter Gunn Theme’ that started the evening, to the final encore “Everybody Needs Somebody’ the audience continually augmented three different vocalists (Lou, Cloud and Louie III) with foot stomping and crowd clapping that was "on beat” through the 15 song, 90 minute performance that ended with two encores. It was the perfect way to end the Tres Amigos 20th season, and to honor the first two decades of the UCO Jazz Lab, constantly voted as the best venue to experience live music in the metropolitan area.

Thanks to "Blue Lou" Marini and his BB Buddies for the ultimate climax of another incredible season!

Stay tuned for information regarding the Tres Amigos Fall 2023 - Spring 2024 Season!

During his seven year association with the original SNL band he was asked by John Belushi to help create The Blues Brothers band, appearing in 1980 movie The Blues Brothers” with Aretha Franklin and its sequel, “Blues Brothers 2000,” playing the part of "Blue Lou", a moniker by Dan Ackroyd. Since leaving the show in 1983, Lou has had an incredible career collaborating and recording with such legendary artists as Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, Tony Bennett, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, The Band and Steely Dan.

03/11/2023

Last night, at the UCO Jazz Lab, Tony nominated pop/jazz singer Ann Hampton Callaway performed an incredible tribute with the brilliant songwriter, singer, musician and Grammy winner, Bill Stritch as they both celebrated one of my generation's (and America’s) most beloved female vocal artists, Linda Ronstadt. The show traces the growth and breadth of Ronstadt’s career through a set of fifteen of her familiar songs, interspersed with background information and contextualization from her 2013 autobiography "Simple Dreams: A Musical Memoir" and from personal exchanges with Ms. Callaway, who also adds her own engaging comments about her friend and musical colleague.

She began with a rocking rendition of Different Drum” (written by Michael Nesbitt before the Monkees), then shifting to the bittersweet mood of “Long, Long Time,” and continued with the damning attitude of “You’re No Good,” the emotional devastation of “Tracks of My Tears,” “Poor, Poor Pitiful Me,” and “When Will I Be Loved?” The show also includes such unforgettable classics as “Blue Bayou” and poignant duets with Billy Stritch on “Don’t Know Much” and “Somewhere Out There.” My wife’s and my personal favorite of the evening was “Heart Like a Wheel,” that epitomizes Ronstadt’s heartfelt “songs of longing” and showcased Callaway’s powerful voice and empathetic delivery. The show ended in her encore of the haunting anguish of “Desperado,” made famous by Ronstadt prior to it’s release by the Eagles!

Proving she is the consummate entertainer, Ms. Callaway, engaged the crowd, asking for words and phrases from the audience. And, from the piano, she proceeded to create an improv song-on-the-spot. Romantic, intelligent, funny and joyous, Ann Hampton Callaway and "The Linda Ronstadt Songbook” delivered a perfect night of entertainment for those in attendance, and once again exemplifies why the UCO Jazz Lab has been for two decades recognized and awarded the "Best Place to Experience Live Music" in the OKC metropolitan area.

There are still a few tickets available for tonight’s performance. For Tickets, Call 405-641-6380
