Back at the Hook and Ladder after a short break. We started with Jack (trumpet), Serdar (guitar) and Steve H (alto and piano). Annie (vocals) and Carl (trombone) soon arrived, followed by Jim (alto and piano) and finally Sam, who had been out buying a new bass and was eager to try it out.
Jack got us going with Comin' Home, Baby (II-89). Blue Bossa (I-50) was Serdar's choice. Yours truly called Do Nothin' Till You Hear From Me (II-107), and Annie and Carl were able to get in on the tail end of that one. Annie was up next, and made us work on Joy Spring (I-229), but it does seem to be making progress. Carl went with the much easier to play Blue Monk (I-52). Annie took another turn with Gravy Waltz (II-152). Jim thought he'd go vocal as well, and went with How High The Moon (I-180). Annie took the next two, Lullaby of Birdland (I-256) and Blame It On My Youth (II-51). Jack wanted the next one, and requested Bye Bye Blackbird (II-73). Annie took two more: and easy lope through The Very Thought of You (III-###) and a straight ballad, Never Let Me Go (III-299). Unfortunately, we were running out of time, and some of us had to leave, so we shut it down.
