here are two reasons to follow my output as a musician.... my radio show "THE MESSAGE" runs from 7-10 PM on Jazz radio station KMHD 89.1 FM in Portland, OR. Trust me....it's cool listening with an African-American centric feel to the proceedings. THE CARLTON JACKSON-DAVE MILLS Big Band is in residency at Secret Society Ballroom (116 NE Russell St.)on every 3rd MONDAY till the next meteor hits...730-1030PM and some great big band music to be had from 18 of the best that Portland has to offer. ALL AGES are welcome. TEACHERS...if you have a school band that needs to see this kind of group do material that resembles what you are dealing with, then get the band out and see our group. A good teaching moment could be had with interaction with our guys. Food is wonderful there at the venue, also... Dave and I would like to see you there.
