Lou Abbott: News

Dale and I will be at the Hard Rock with special guests Billy Ross on sax and - wait for it - Paul Langosh, the bassist with Tony Bennett! Get a spot in the lounge with us and save on the big price. If you want to do the whole thing, it's pricey (250 per) but the spread is supposed to be unbelievable. A Five-Course meal and what a band! Our hours: 8-1 AM and another band will precede us.

We are now doing weekends from 8PM to 1AM. The crowd is more geared towards dinner early and dancing late. Stop by when you like!

Paola and I are back after 6 days in Paris. Great trip and some pix are on my gallery.
Musically, the city is a desert--no blues or jazz clubs to speak of and little music in public spaces. They need a shot of R&B!

Check out our music on iTunes and 26 other digital outlets. We sold our first complete CD and some individual songs as well. Just put in "Piano Bob's 88s".

Wednesday the 10th of January was one for the history books! We were joined by harmonica great Howard Levy at the Hard Rock and every harp player in town came out to see him. This guy is just a great musician all around (plays piano as well) and what an inspiration. I put this up there with my time with Diz and Wynton. Thanks Howard for the good comments and the music!

Piano Bob and I have released a CD that features blues, New Orleans grooves and great Swing Dancing numbers. It's called "Big Beat Blues" and features Matt Bonelli, Dave Wilkinson, Al Ferreira, Leo Casino, and Bob Loiacano.

Look for this CD on CDBaby and online at iTunes, Rhapsody and Napster. Local sales: call me or Bob (305.373.1334) or at Blue Note Records.

I am now playing steady with Dale Powers and friends at the Hard Rock Casino in the Council Oak Lounge. This band is great and can really get the room moving as Dale and Johnny hit the floor. Regularly features Jesse Jones, John Amoroso, Tom Roberts, Ricky Williams, John Micalack, Brian Murphy, Pete Wallace and more!
