Beginning Sunday October sixth,
Pazzo Ristorante at 627 S.W. W ash
ington will be featuring the spirited
sounds of gospel music.
The talents of Ken Barry’s gospel
ensemble known as Timesound will be
heard in their lounge between the hours
of 10:00 am and 2:00 pm each Sunday.
Timesound has been a project of
Mr. Barry’s for several years and in
volves the talents of Danny Osborne,
Linda Hombuckle, Tracy Clay and
others. These musicians are involved
within several churches in our commu
nity and the personnel of Timesound
will change with those responsibilities.
This change in their jazz policy for
Sundays is something that they are very
excited about. They see this an an op
portunity to offer a truly unique experi
ence to Portland’s Sunday Brunch popu
lation.

B.B. King, James Cotton, Buddy
Guy, Otis Clay, and Junior Wells are a
few of the well known Blues artists that
Norman Sylvester has shared billing
with. Tower of Power has had Norman
open for them when they came to town.
While Norman was working a day
job for 22 years with a local trucking
company, he still had the dedication to
create his own original style of the
blues. In the past six years, he has
formed his present band, started his
own production company, Boogie Cat
Productions and formed the Boogie Cat
recording label.
On the Boogie Cat label Norman
has released a 12 original songs cas
sette titled ‘ ‘On The Right Track.” It is
presently being sold in the U.S. and
overseas. Blues and Rhythm Magazine
reviewed it as “ excellent modem west
coast blues.” BLUES NOTES NEWS
PAPER said: “ On The Right Track is a
power collection of original songs.”
In addition to being a blues musi
cian-song writer, Norman tries to give
something back to the community.
Through his Boogie Cat Productions,
he offers to share his many years of pro
fessional knowledge. He promotes
Northwest music, and helps professional
and underexposed performers deliver
their art to the public. He offers serv
ices such as concert bookings, musi
cian consulting, musician referrals and
music management. Boogie Cat Pro
ductions also sponsors a Scholarship
Fund.
“ On The Right Track” is avail
able at local outlets. For performance
and booking information, call 289-1609.

Oregon Ballet Theatre has received
a $5,000 grant from AT&T to support
its production of ‘‘Carmen” , it was an
nounced today.
In presenting the gift. Brad Johnson,
AT&T Branch Manager, Business
Communications Systems, acknowl
edged Oregon Ballet Theatre’s impor
tant role in the community: “ AT&T is
proud to be a small part of this wonder
ful new tradition in Portland — Oregon
Ballet Theatre. We at AT&T believe
that as we go forward into the 90s, OBT
will add to the quality of life in our
community and make a significant
contribution to the broadening of the
population’s appreciation of the arts.”
Launching Oregon Ballet Theatre’s
1991-92 season, the world premiere
production of “ Carmen” , set to Georges
Bizet’s enchanting score, offers a new
interpretation of the classic opera of
love and vengeance. With choreogra
phy by OBT Artistic Direcor James
Canfield, the fiery ballet unfolds in a
1920’s Speakeasy, a smoky cabaret club
crawling with the likes of A1 Capone-
inspired gangsters and gamblers.
This bold new production brings
together the acclaimed set and costume
design team of John and Sandra Woo
dall, hailed as two of the West Coast’s
most inventive designers.
OBT Music Directo Niel DePonte
conducts the Oregon Ballet Theatre
Orchestra for all performances.
“ Carmen” is slated for October
17-20 at the Portland Civic Audito
rium. For ticket information, call (503)-
227-6787.
