Testimonials:
"So I ran into Grant Johnson's brother in law, and he said the family agrees that this was the BEST Concert they have had in all 41 years! People were raving about the music selection and of course, your clarinet skills. I was so excited how it all turned out...especially "Memories of You". WOW." -Danielle Miller, Director of Bands, Lebanon High School (6/5/08)
"Club 7 has been a regular at the Medford Jazz Jubilee since 2004 and will appear again in October of 2008. They get a great sound out of a small group and are a versatile crowd pleaser. Michael and the group’s repertoire may include more, but I can personally vouch for their excellence with hot jazz and inspirational standards as well as the more modern cool jazz reminiscent of Brubeck and others. Club 7 would be a credit to any festival, party or event." - Jim DeMont, Vice President, Medford Jazz Jubilee (12/3/07)
"The musicians are from Eugene, OR and Portland, OR. I just danced to them LIVE last Wednesday in Eugene for the 5th Anniversary of http://www.EugeneLindy.com. The clarinet player is tremendous. I hope to book them at my ballroom in Portland soon."
- Larry Peacock (4/12/08)
"This group is composed of college-age young men (details, bios, etc., on
website) whose style and professionalism are far beyond their years.
Clarinetist and leader Michael Almich is not only technically proficient AND
sensitive AND swinging but was attuned to every nuance of the band members.
And they to him. He is a protegee of Bob Draga, and it shows."
- Jane Lynch (08/13/08)
"Wow, here's another band of musicians in their 20s that are tearing up
the pea patch. They swing their asses off and speak with their own
voice, bringing something new to the party. Glad to see that Ocean Shores, Medford and Orange County OKOM Jazz Festivals have booked them."
- Steve Barbone (4/12/08)
I'm happy and honored to inform you that our new album "MASISAMBA" is almost ready to be released via internet! (there is some artwork left to do). Thank you very much for your interest in what we do. Our MySpace player plays more than 150 times over night ! ! ! ! ! ! It inspires my colleagues ! ! ! ! ! There is not much real Big Band music in today's world. To be frank, it takes a lot of effort to keep musicians together. So your interest helps me to cope with this!
cordially, Armen Martirosian, artistic director, Armenian Jazz Band
P.S.I created a new group JAZZ ORCHESTRAS !!!!!!!!!

"I never tried to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has always been my music, it's always come first, but the music ain't worth nothing if you can't lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience, 'cause what you're there for is to please the people." -- Luis Armstrong
"My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never." -- Duke Ellington
