Mike Winkle's Conversation Quartet: Conversation Is Trippin!

Thu, Jun 05

The great Mike Winkle, our favorite jazz crooner, returns with his fantastic Conversation Quartet! Featuring Mike and the band's favorite psychedelic 60's hits re-imaged as jazz. Beatles, Animals, Cream, Traffic, Zombies, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Procol Harem and more! Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area in the 60’s, Michael was surrounded by an incredible music scene that offered such a diversity of musical genres that inspired him to want to play music and attempt to emulate some of his early heroes. His voice has been favorably compared to a host of artists including, Chet Baker, Frank Sinatra, Stevie Wonder, Bobby Caldwell, Sam Cooke and others. After over 40 years of performing, Michael has found his own voice and style that is really just a synthesis of everything that he has listened to, absorbed and loved! he'll be joined by fellow Portland lads and terrific players Craig Snazelle on bass, Jose Luis on keys, and Kurt Deutscher on drums. Don't miss it!
