We met on a beautiful summertime Monday evening.
Participating were Tom (drums), Sam (bass), Steve M (alto), Steve H (alto and
soprano), Jack D (trumpet), Wes (tenor), and Dick (vocals).
Things got rolling with Solar
(I- ), Sam’s choice. Steve M was up next, and called For All We Know (I- ). Jack D. had an interesting choice, but I
forgot to write it down. After that, we
were On A Slow Boat To China
(III-309). Wes completely changed the mood with his choice of Boplicity (I-58). Another change of pace
came with Sam’s next call, Waltz For
Debbie (I-42).
Vocals began with Dick’s choices of A Sunday Kind Of Love (I-392), followed by Fly Me To The Moon (II-135).
Next up was Steve M’s call, I
Thought About You (II-180).; Dick joined in. Jack D decided on the classic I Love Paris (I-189). Sam asked that we
do a little work, handing out a few tunes in C for us to transpose, Cute (yours truly cheated and moved over
to piano for this one) and On The Trail.
We struggled with transposition, and decided to close out with a vocal, I Could Write A Book (I-186).
