Get swanky with us every Thursday night 7-9 PM for live jazz and your favorite craft cocktails. Featuring Moonbright Jazz Duo
Brian Litz
Brian is a seasoned, professional guitarist who grew up in the family music
business, Victor Litz Music Center in Gaithersburg MD. He received early
instruction from his father, an accomplished player, as well as from other
musicians associated with the store. He studied classical guitar at Montgomery
College with Robert Winter and gained experience traveling the country for a
few years playing in various dance bands. Eventually, Brian came back to the
DC area to concentrate on a more regional teaching and playing career. A
highlight during this time was an opportunity to study with the legendary jazz
guitarist Herb Ellis. While his heart is obviously in jazz, his influences are from
Segovia to Jimi Hendrix to Joe Pass.
Ralph Gordon
Ralph has had a varied career spanning fifty plus years. His distinctive bass has
been recorded on nearly two hundred albums, ranging from Appalachian String
Band music to Big Band Jazz. In bands such as Trapezoid, Freyda and the
Grammy nominated Acoustic Attitude, Ralph has been in demand both in the
studio and onstage. When he is not providing the foundation for Moonbright
Jazz, Ralph Gordon can be found touring nationally with Chris Collins and
Boulder Canyon, a top John Denver Tribute band.
