Selected Past

* 8/13/11:  Jupiter, Berkeley

      FORTUNE SMILES
      Due to Matt's inescapable absence, we did the "quartet combo" version this time. Hey, it worked! A nice low-key chill
      under the full moon (and heat lamps), couldn't ask for a more pleasant vibe, and we let it flow. Next time with drums!

* 6/10/11:  The Arlington Cafe, Kensington

      FORTUNE SMILES
      At the other end of the spectrum from Yoshi's -- casual, kids, warmth and fun!

* 2/7/11:  Yoshi's, Oakland

      FORTUNE SMILES
      This gig was a bit of magic for us, what a treat! The sound was superb, we played up a storm, and shared it with a terrific crowd.
      Thanks to everyone at the club for their professionalism and gracious hospitality!

* 6/4/10:  Armando's, Martinez

      Rory Snyder Quartet and FORTUNE SMILES
      What fun it was to follow the great Rory Snyder! Leonard unfortunately couldn't make it (next time!), but we worked out
      some quartet arrangements and Rory sat in on a few tunes to fill out a quintet. Check out the write-up on Ted in the DVC paper.

* 11/24/09:  Diablo Valley College, Pleasant Hill

      FORTUNE SMILES (Fortune Smiles flyer) (DVC flyer)
      With Ted and Dan working to cover chords in Gary's unavoidable absence, we pulled off a nice one! Next time with all five again.

* 5/8/09:  Hillside Community Church, El Cerrito

      FORTUNE SMILES (flyer)
      Back on stage with Leonard Sklar replacing Dave Barrows, we had another great time! Thanks to everyone who packed the house.

* 8/17/08:  Pyramid Alehouse, Walnut Creek

      JAZZ TRIAD, including Ted Nirgiotis, Dennis Fortin and Dan Krimm

* 3/7/08:  Anna's Jazz Island, Berkeley

      FORTUNE SMILES
      Thanks to all who came to hear us! It was a fabulous debut, and we had a great time playing for you.
