DMS - Live in Portland Duke - Miller - Sanborn
August 13, 2011 - Roseland Theater
S. H. Watkins, Sr.
Performing under the moniker DMS, George Duke, Marcus Miller and David Sanborn are bringing their masterful blend of talent, skill and... well, more talent to your town. If you get a chance to go, be sure and attend this wonderful, musical, jamming party. Accompanied by a drummer and keyboardist the three jazz masters put on a short, but intense, show at the Roseland in Portland. Not too short, but I'd have liked to hear another few hours. Covering tracks written by all three artists, sometime written for one another, the group performed favorites like the Clark/Duke project bestseller "Sweet Baby", Miles Davis' "Tutu" and Sanborn hits "Lisa" and "Chicago Song".  more >>

Greg McKelvey, Hazel DiLorenzo, Dorothy McCormick, Ken Baldwin, all my teachers at Portland State University and Berklee."
