Bobby Torres and Carmelo Torres join Mel Brown on stage at the Jack London Revue. Music starts at 8:00pm. Mel and Bobby go way back – during their long careers touring on the road, finding themselves in the same town, and – at times – even in the same hotel, Bobby and Mel would hang out together telling jokes, sharing road stories and occasionally playing music together. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear these two musicians performing and having a good time together on stage at the Jack London Revue. The Mel Browne Quartet features Mel Browne on drums, Luis Payne on 3-B Organ, Dan Balmer on guitar and Renato Carranto on Saxophone.

Arrivederci’s presents live Latin Jazz featuring the Bobby Torres Ensemble! Music from 8:00-11:00pm. Reflecting the family ambiance of this unique Italian venue, Bobby has gathered a cadre of well known NW Artists featuring Al Criado on bass, Carmelo Torres on drums and of course Bobby Torres on congas and percussion. With any luck, Steve Hanneman will sneak in with his axe during the last set. And, with some encouragement, Steve will also break into song! Jazz lovers, the intimate seating, that closely surrounds the bandstand, gets booked out early so call for your reservation today (503) 659-1143. This is a family friendly venue for the entire evening. Don’t miss this opportunity to chill-ax up close and personal with your family and friends with some of the best live jazz in Portland!
In addition to the live music, enjoy a selection from Kate and Steve’s menu and wine list. Bobby recommends a glass of pinot noir with the Vegetarian Pizza (ask for it because it is not listed on the menu). Order it Bobby’s heart healthy way (extra veggie) on a fabulous gluten free crust and hold the cheese! For your starter, enjoy a small roasted beet and pear salad. Yum! Some vegetarian, GF, vegan options available upon request.
Call to reserve your table today: (503) 659-1143.
