Arrivederci’s presents live Latin Jazz featuring a quintet version of the Bobby Torres Ensemble! Reflecting the family ambiance of this unique Italian venue, Bobby has gathered a quintet of well known NW Artists including musical heavy weights: Mike Horsfall on piano, Al Criado on Bass, Cameron Morgan on guitar, vocalist Julana Torres 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.

Join Bobby Torres at the No Vacancy Lounge “For the Love of Glenn” – a benefit for Glenn Holstrom – one of Portland’s most in-demand and hard working musicians. Glenn’s exceptional musical mind, easy going attitude, quit wit and engaging sense of humor has made him a favorite among NW musicians. Fans, musicians and artists from all genre and all parts of town are expected to turn out in droves for this event – organizers extended event hours to 11:30 PM to allow even more musicians to perform on the No-Vacancy-Stage following their own gigs around the city. Don’t miss out on a memorable night of great music while rubbing elbows with the coolest of the cool, the bluest of the blue and the hippest of the hip!  This event features King Louie and LaRhonda Steele, Renato Caranto, Edwin Coleman III, and Peter Dammann. With special guests: Soul Vaccination, Mel Brown, Norman Sylvester, Bobby Torres, Dan Faehnle, Margaret Linn, Marilyn Keller and many more. All funds go to the Glenn Holstrom Memorial Fund. If you are unable to attend, please consider making a donation at US Bank “For the Love of Glenn” memorial fund. No Vacancy Lounge is located on the Max Line in downtown Portland.

Oregon native Glenn Holstrom is one of Portland’s most loved and respected musicians. He has worked full-time in music as a keyboardist and arranger since the early 1970’s.  As legendary Portland bluesman Lloyd Jones wrote: All Portland musicians know what a genius piano player, organ player, arranger extraordinaire and treasured friend the great “G-Man” is, but many of you fans may not. Glenn has played and arranged the music of Tom Grant, Lloyd Jones, Curtis Salgado, Ellen White, Bobby Torres, Dan Balmer, Paul deLay and dozens of others. Truly the “go-to-guy” for all of us musicians. So many of us have said, “Ask Glenn, he’ll know what to do”.
Glenn has worked intermittently since his cancer diagnosis in May, 2011, most notably with a prominent Portland horn band, Soul Vaccination (2014-2018). He has been unable to work at all since May due to his illness.
