The Mike Pardew Group started in July as the house band at Nel Centro, in the heart of downtown Portland. They perform their arrangements of jazz standards and orginal pieces every Friday and Saturday, from 10 PM to midnight, all ages, no cover!

Mike recorded a trio album, Azul, of original music featuring renowned bassist Damian Erskine and the great Micah Kassell on Drums. Azul debuted in April and is available in record stores, nationwide.

Mike will appear with Eleven Eyes on their third album, anticipating a release this fall.
