Warren Hill

La dlce Vita CD release party

August 9, 2008

Last year at jazz fest, when he was signing CD, he asked my name like I've never come to his show. In 2004, he was member of guitars & sax, it was free show so, I sent flowers for all 4 guys and he took them all since he is local residence. And other time...I complained later that he didn't remember me. This time I'd better bring flower... orange spray roses caught my eyes in the cooler and bingo!!! his shirt was perfectly matching.

I was happy to get drink. "just turqoise color and taste good."

He has long name so Warren said just call him 3rd. "He was 6th yesterday, maybe he got promotion to be 2nd tomoroww."

Songs are usual, Warren plays at concert, up beat rock . With these new band member, sounds fresh energic.

Title track of new CD "La Dolce Vita" was smoothjazz song with this simple band, sounded thick. He didn't arrange rock for live, kept it calm was nice introduction of new song.

Another song from new album was "Sunsine" and he got plenty of audience paticepation. When I played this CD the other day, my daughter said "that song sticks in my ears!!"

A little guitar for this song.
He's from Canada and somone in the audience asked "Have you played at Elma Lambo?" "yeah, I played. Jaco Pastrius was there then."
He said "we are videio shooting tonight, if anyone secretly here, like husband cover the face with manue or something."
This base guy plays with other musicians.
Like Nils , Eric Darius at Jazz@Jacks
His action, play sometime get more attention than main guy.

Wareen has been promoting his daughter, Olivia theses years. last year, he said "may be she can hire me for her band."

She brought micophone cover match to outfit and orange one for him, too. That's girl thing.

After her singing, she was whispering to him something and he said "no, honey, just one."

When he introduced one of the song, he said that's came to him when he was jogging. It was Winter time but song is summer song. He was telling it's funny but I was thinking; OK, he said 30min out. I walk dog and takes about 45min including dog stops. 30min out by jogging...OK...that's how he and other guy keep in those slim shape.....
One of the song was for his 10th aniversarry with his wife, Tamala(she wasn't there). He tells funny names of places she picked but you have to attend his show to hear.

Now his mic cover is matching to his shirt->

I think his name is Johnson. Chicago style blues was hot.

In audience

After the show, meets and greets. I was talking to 3rd, the drummer. Since he's from FL, I asked if he knows Eric Derius. He said he was playing with him when they were in high school. Young talented guys. He said he's going to play with Eric at DNC concert.

He was so happy with those little roses and he wanted to give me his new CD but he saw that's I brought in, "what about this? Do you have this?" Christmas CD. That's I don't have. The one he had was new one and he gave it to me and some compilation CD he's in. I still have to get old Christmas CD.

Olivia was so helpful. I wanted pic taken by him. He was inside of counter then. She was holding counter the one flip up to open so that I could get in.

He's national artist, Jazztrax letter shows he's scheduled to Catalina Island jazz fest. Just because he lives in Colorado, we are lucky he throws us concert like local bands do. I'm sure his concerts are awsome every where. Go Warren!!
