Air
service for the 2013-2014 winter season from American Airlines and
United Airlines, with flights from Dallas (DFW), Houston (IAH), Chicago (ORD) and Denver (DEN).
is another great option that offers additional non-stop jet
service to the area. Montrose is an easy one and a half hour scenic
ground transfer to Crested Butte.
They are right at the base (see movie-scroll
down on the page), AND offer FREE overnight storage. The trick is you
have to book thru my website ... and then you can call them to make sure
it is all booked correctly:
The September Event Calendar
is up! New this year? Lisa Marie Presley is coming to Crested Butte.
That caught my eye! Don't miss the beer and chili cook-off ! And there
are lots of great events in September when the leaves are golden and the
air is crisp and it is my faaavooriteee time of year.
The Paving of Cottonwood Pass
They are currently paving and widening the road along Taylor River and plan to extend to the top of Cottonwood pass.
My
opinion? This is a game changer. Finally a game changer for the Crested
Butte winter economy. Denverites would be able to drive to CB safely to
ski in a bit more time than it takes to drive to the I-70 resorts, but
with alot more surety as to arrival time. Brilliant!!!!! Hope they don't
allow trucks.

Powell’s abilities as a multi-stylistic violinist have allowed him to

to internationally famous classical conductors, including Sir Roger
Norrington, Marin Alsop, Yan Pascal Tortelier and Keith Lockhart. He’s

The all-acoustic Gonzalo Bergara Quartet plays a modern
variant of 1930’s Django Reinhardt-inspired gypsy jazz. Composer and
lead guitarist Gonzalo Bergara mixes a cascade of arpeggios with the
sounds of Paris and his native Argentina. His first CD, PorteƱa Soledad,
was Editor’s Pick in Guitar Player Magazine, and Vintage Guitar
Magazine called it a "masterpiece." The Gonzalo Bergara Quartet consists
of Gonzalo Bergara on lead guitar, Jeffrey Radaich on rhythm guitar,
Leah Zeger on violin, and Brian Netzley on upright bass. The music is
heavily influenced by Django Reinhardt and the Hot Club of France, as
well as the traditional jazz and music of Bergara's true home, Buenos
Aires. "Gonzalo Bergara’s music exists in a way that very little music
does. He has lavished such care on every phrase, built each arrangement
with such lapidary precision and pared away anything extraneous, the
music becomes sculpture. It has weight, density, gravity. This is
serious….and deeply moving.”
International String Trio is a group of exceptionally
talented musicians, who hail from three different corners of the world,
but share a rigorous training experience at Berklee College of Music.
Founded by Russian-born guitarist and arranger Slava Tolstoy, with
Japanese upright bassist Ippei Ichimaru and English violinist Ben
Powell, the trio has quickly won over audiences with its tight,
energetic interpretations of everything from favorite folk melodies to
Django Reinhardt numbers, to classical string pieces by revered
composers. The trio spans jazz, world and classical sounds with an
easy-going finesse that gives even simple pop melodies great depth and
lyricism.
