[HAM] Got some press today.

[Linda Dachtyl]

I was featured in the Columbus Dispatch Weekender today:

Just wanted to share.
Nice article.

A couple of corrections

Mark DonAvan is one of my sax players (my error)..and I don't play in  
the Columbus Symphony.........
(not exactly sure where they got that idea.... Probably mixed up some  
of the names of the other local orchestras I have played with)

The cover for Sean's show is $12. Dick's Den is $3.

Linda Dachtyl

When she isn't performing percussion with the Columbus Symphony,  
Linda Dachtyl plays the Hammond B3 organ.

She has released For Hep Cats with members of her LDB3 jazz quartet.
Allow her to tell you about it:
Q What does the music on your new album sound like?

A Blues-drenched soul-jazz from start to finish, including everything  
from the gutbucket basics to developed orchestrations touching on  
various swing and Latin styles.



Q Why does your band exist?

A I have played the B3 since I was a teenager and decided around 2000  
to just forget about all the obvious problems in transporting it. For  
years I searched for the right, sensible 30-pound . . . (synthesizer)  
to emulate the B3 and always came up short on that, no matter how  
much the technology has improved over the years.

There's nothing like playing the real thing, and I enjoy every minute  
of it.



Q What is your favorite quote about the group?

A Fritz "the Nite Owl" (Peerenboom) of WJZA (103.5/104.3 FM) said  
this in his review in the Short North Gazette:

"Linda is superb in every department, on every track. Her solos soar;  
her unison playing is tight; her supporting fills like Baby Bear's  
porridge: not too hot, not too cold but just right!"



Q Why should someone see Linda Dachtyl in concert?

A We are able to put you into a '60s retro supper-club mood and give  
you a glimpse into the future -- all in the present moment. Besides,  
you'll just have a good time!
