Live from Basel's popular AVO SESSION festival (now known as Baloise Session) on October 22, 2011, Portland, Oregon's "little orchestra" Pink Martini plays their original instrumental showpiece, "The Flying Squirrel", written by bandleader Thomas M. Lauderdale and Pink Martini trombonist Robert Taylor. Not featured on any studio album, the song is a highlight of the band's live shows, where it features several of the band's talented instrumentalists in solos. Featuring Jeffrey Budin on trombone, Gavin Bondy on trumpet, Dan Faehnle on guitar, Phil Baker on bass, and Brian Davis on drums. This performance is a special delight, with lead singer Storm Large heading into the audience to dance with the fans.

Stunning!

Meravigliosa Orchestra e Storm for ever!!!!

A Pink Martini show is always a party!

[@nadiadragonfly11]

Great Music & Dancing from Pink Martini as always😍 The distinguished gentleman dancing with Storm was the one & only Avo Uvezian, Pianist, Composer, Cigar Manufacturer, and Connoisseur!! His famous line of Avo Cigars are part of the Davidoff Line, purchased from Avo in the mid-'90s for $10mill. I had the lovely privilege of meeting, being charmed by, chatting, smoking Avo Cigars, listening as He tickled the ivories, and dancing with Him in 2010 at a Dominican Republic Rooftop Restaurant while on a Davidoff Cigar Tour for Retailers😘It's one of those nights that will always bring Me great Joy & Gratitude!! A warm, charismatic, gracious, talented, visionary & happy Man who sadly went Home in 2017💜

Thank God for your comment. There aren't enough advertisements on KZbin.

[@nadiadragonfly11]

@@seamusobrog1737 not sure how sharing info about someone in a video is an advertisement? And there is free Adblock for KZbin if you're feeling so inundated.

[@DanishBlu]

@@nadiadragonfly11 Please........Whaz? You tink I was born tomorrow? I'm 73 which literally makes me as old as Television. You think I don't know advertising & manure spreading when I see it? If you gave the guy's name, profession, & info on how to look him up on Wikipedia (He's there, BTW. Easy as pie.), THAT would be a mention. Pushing his connections, associates, dollar figures of his wealth, and name dropping about 4000 pounds of your 'personal' connections to the great man is both sucking up & advertising......and then trying to act the innocent? Take it somewhere else. Your specious comment about adblocking gives the lie to your protestation of innocence. It's for EXACTLY the reason that there IS NO adblocking for comments that you use the comments to shovel your offal. When it was just Storm dancing with an old gent it was cute.

[@nadiadragonfly11]

@@DanishBlu @ 73 you should be old enough to be more sensible & respectful!! Not to mention be able to see when someone's simply sharing an experience that made them Happy!! And I'm not clear what I'm trying to sell! My advice to you is if you don't have anything good to say, say nothing.

That old guy's just: Yep, I'm dancing with a pretty girl and I look better than you doing it. Deal with it.

[@catwurdack3870]

If men understood women’s appreciation of a strong dance lead, they’d all take formal lessons. Seriously, it’s a game changer.

He gettin’ ready to knock on Heaven’s door. Might as well enjoy what he can. 😆

I met Avo Uvezian [it's the elderly gentleman with a straw hat, dancing with Storm Large] once while I was vacationing in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. He was having dinner in a posh restaurant, as was I. I recognized him instantly from his pictures in the Cigar Aficionado Magazine, and since he was wearing his traditional white suit and flat top buff, straw hat. Being a fellow Armenian, I walked to his table and started talking to him in Armenian. I knew he could speak Armenian because he had immigrated from Lebanon, just like me, and Armenian is almost like a second language there. He was very pleasantly surprised to meet a fellow Armenian and chat with him in his mother tongue. At that time, I was a cigar smoker and a cigar connoisseur so we had a long conversation together on the subject. He was a very charming, gracious, classy gentleman, the kind of which is slowly disappearing.
