TOM MCKENZIE

Says Tom about his instrument:

"La Contrebasse.  La Grand-mère.  String bass.  Bass fiddle.  Double bass.  Bull bass.  Bass viol.  

She is called by many names and her function in any musical ensemble is to, "basically", lay down the groove: provide the bottom (base) of the harmony and rhythm. 

But, her melodic range is broad, and she can sing you to tears as well as make you feel that thump in your rump." 

Tom McKenzie is originally from New York and has had an international career for 30 plus years playing in a wide variety of venues: churches, theatres, concerts, festivals, recording studios. He has also been a street musician. He has worked in the US, Europe Africa and the Caribbean.

Address: At a fun new venue - a French Bistro -  in the Marais just behind BHV at the metro Hotel de Ville (ligne 1). GREAT FRENCH FOOD. Address details with the reservation.

It's €25.00 (EXACT CHANGE) for a fun dinner. NEW FORMULA: Dinner is two courses and includes a glass of wine or a beverage. All additional beverages must be ordered from and paid for directly to the bistro.

A fun dinner, a great topic, meeting and networking with, fun, new international people.
