June 5, 2016

Your scribe did not get to the Workshop until the singer's portion of the program, so Sam was kind enough to keep the record. Present were Tom (drums), newcomer Phil (piano), Steve M (alto) Jack K (trumpet), Elmer (tenor), Joe (trumpet), Annie (vocals), Carl (trombone), Dick (vocals), and of course Sam (bass and trumpet). Tony (bass) and Steve H (alto) strolled in later.

Tunes performed: So What, Alice In Wonderland, Quiet Nights Of Quiet Stars (Corcovado), Dancing On The Ceiling, Blue Room, St. Thomas, Pfrancing, Sunday Kind Of Love, The Surrey With The Fringe On Top, Time After Time, So Dance...

When yours truly and Tony arrive, Annie was singing Why Do I Love You. Dick chose In A Mellow Tone. Joe got the call on an instrumental, Swingin' Shepherd Blues. Annie requested something in there that I forgot to write down; in fact, I think I missed a couple of tunes here. Dick called Have You Met Miss Jones. Annie opted for a reprise of MellowTone, so she could exchange some scat time with Dick. I got a chance to bring up Honeysuckle Rose. Dick brought up another tune that he and Annie work well on together, Centerpiece. Tom got a pick with C-Jam Blues. We finished up with a long version of a reprise of Quiet Nights, this time with vocals.

Next week, we move to Mondays, starting on June 13 from 5 to 8. 

I hope next time to bring back the Participant Picks.
Here's a few that will tell you where I've been for the past few months.
