Band Info/Notes: Los Gatos


The well-crafted and polished emsemble Los Gatos showcases the incredible musical talents of the bandmembers: timballero Pete Siers and conguero Al DiBlassio, vibraphonist Cary Kocher, pianist Brian DiBlassio and bassist Kurt Krahnke. Los Gatos is built from the "old-school" Latin jazz values set forth by Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente and Joe Cuba. However, unlike many traditional Latin jazz groups with six or more members, Los Gatos is a quintet, a combination which dramatically exposes the function of each component of the band. Los Gatos' use of call-and-response vocal coro sections throughout their repertoire lifts the music to new heights of soulfulness and drama. Al DiBlassio puts every fiber of his being into his solo vocals, supported splendidly by the other four singing members of the group. The vocals add an authentic sound and dimension to this band.

Opened in 2000, the Firefly Club is an award-winning, intimate jewel-box of a jazz and blues room.

It has received such honors as 2003 "Best Jazz Club" by HOUR Detroit magazine, 2004 "Best Jazz Club in Metro Detroit" by The Detroit Free Press, 2004 "Best Blues Venue" by the Detroit News Reader's Poll, "Best Jazz Club to See a Grammy Winner" by the Detroit METROTIMES, and was voted both "Best Jazz Club" and "Best Blues Club" by Ann Arbor's CURRENT Magazine annually from 2004 to 2007.

Additionally the club has received AOL's "City's Best" Award for three years running and was included in Downbeat Magazine's presti-gious list of the "100 Great Jazz Clubs of the World" for 2007!

The Firefly Club features live music seven nights a week, offering the full spectrum of jazz from Dixieland to avant garde, Latin jazz to swinging big band sounds, as well as authentic electric and roots blues. It has hosted such luminaries as Arturo Sandoval, Maynard Ferguson, Wynton Marsalis, Larry Coryell, Brian Auger, Mulgrew Miller, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Big Bill Morganfield, Buster Williams, Karrin Allyson, Janis Siegel, Hank Jones, Mose Allison, Patricia Barber, David Liebman, Maria Muldaur, Cyrus Chestnut, Cedar Walton, and many more.

Stellar local and regional performers such as Paul Keller, Ellen Rowe, Marcus Belgrave, Rick Roe, Rodney Whitaker, Johnnie Basset, Tom Saunders, Claudia Schmidt, Sunny Wilkinson, Alberta Adams, Mr B (Mark Braun), and James Dapogny regulary grace our stage.

Seating 195 people, the Firefly Club offers a cozy, "deep purple" listening-room setting for the enjoyment of jazz, blues and cocktails. Our spacious dance floor provides ballroom and Latin style dancers a marvelous platform to showcase their skills. The bistro-style kitchen offers a delightful menu of appetizers, homemade soups and salads, sandwiches and desserts, and can also provide buffets - from simple or elegant appetizers to full dinners. The full-service bar provides an extensive array of specialty martinis, domestic and imported beers, and a wide selection of single malt scotches, top-shelf tequilas, whiskeys, cognacs and vodkas.

The club is available for private event rentals and regularly hosts birthday and anniversary parties, intimate wedding receptions, as well as corporate parties, film locations and business seminars.
