tyle Quarterly is preparing a platform that will take you
inside some of the most intriguing events and venues both near
and far.
First stop:
Los Angeles, California
bka
“L.A.”
aka
“MyHometown” and sometimes referred to as
The City of Angels.
With two nights on the roster in celebration of Contem-
porary Jazz Guitarist/Recording Artist
Nils’
recent CD Release
entitled
Alley Cat,
the stage is now set for this long-awaited
comeback after a 3-year hiatus. With two Release Parties slated,
and the first being held inside
Herb Alpert’s Vibrato Grill in Bever-
ly Glen, CA
and the second at
Spaghettini in Orange County, CA.
Special guest #1 is the multi-talented Trumpeter/Singer/Song-
writer
Johnny Britt
who performed at both venues and delivered
his signature style of artistry with precision and ease while de-
lighting the eagerly awaiting audience. Special guest #2 composer
and keyboardist
Nate Harasim
, flew in from Detroit, Michigan
to join the gang for the show of shows! — his performance was
dynamic and energetic, action-packed and very entertaining to
say the least. Ladies and gentlemen, in short the crowds were
mesmerized by the unchained energy and excitement that Nils
and company are known to deliver time after time.
F
or those of you who were in attendance, I be-
lieve that most (if not all) would agree that the
setting and decor of
Herb Alpert’s Vibrato
Grill in Beverly Glen
was absolutely fabulous.
The ambiance and the intimacy of this venue clearly
sets the stage for a great performance eagerly waiting
to happen. And based on the ovations, it’s without
question that Nils put on a dazzling display of enter-
tainment that will reverberate in the hearts and mem-
ories of this audience for years to come.
Spaghettini,
Seal Beach’s
unique setting added the finishing touch
to our
One Smooth Summer
finale which will never be
forgotten. As for me and my team we had a blast, and
we couldn’t have done it without you the audience!
Therefore, on behalf of my team and I, a sincere thank
you goes out to each and every one of you for such a
great and memorable experience.
WE HAD A
BLAST!
...and Mr. Tom Jones, who happens to be a really nice guy!

A Very Sincere Thanks to Nils...
While working with Nils on this project I witnessed a deep sense
of gratitude on his part - a reciprocating kind of love and appreci-
ation flowing to and from his band and his fans as well - I admire
your character. Thanks for the opportunity Nils for allowing my
dream to interact with yours ...once again.
