XTET Live at Sahalie Wine Cellars

CORVALLIS -- The relentless XTET with John Bliss (Guitar), Rob Birdwell (Trumpet/Flugelhorn), Steve Willis (Bass), The Viking (Drums), performed three sets of Jazz at Sahalie Wine Cellars on Saturday, October 22, 2005. Located near the new downtown Corvallis fish market, Sahalie's offers a wonderful atmosphere and is a fantastic venue to relax and enjoy great wine, food, and music!
The video, audio and photos should tell the rest of the story - it was a great night of music. Steve Willis joined the XTET on Bass this particular night (subbing for our regular guy, Mike Rhodes) and David Plaehn played Harmonica on a two selections.
