Mel Brown CD Release Party
4946 N. Vancouver Avenue,

TEE
Since 1998, pianist Gordon Lee
has been a mainstay with drummer
Mel Brown's hardswinging sextet
as they've played to packed rooms
every Tuesday night at Jimmy Mak's
in downtown Portland for over 17
years, which may be some kind of
modem day record for a 7 piece jazz
band.
Known for its adherence to the
"hard bop" sounds of Art Blakey,
Horace Silver and Wayne Shorter,
Lee's compositions follow in that
style, but with new 21st-century
twists.
His first recording with the band,
"Gordon Bleu," led to them winning
the 1989 Hennessy Jazz Search,
where they beat out 700 other
groups from around the world.
"Tuesday Night" on OA2 records is
the long-overdue second recording
o f this inspired, soulful band and a
