NEXT TIME: Sat. 7/9, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS) weather permitting. Bring your own chair and stand!
NO WORKSHOP THIS SATURDAY, JULY 2!
Independence Day weekend, and attendance is hard to come by. Also, I know we will be missing our two main rhythm players. So.
This week we had a small but enthusiastic gathering: Steve (soprano), Raphael (bass), Ari (trumpet).
We began with your scribe's choice, Honeysuckle Rose (II-167). Raphael went tricky right away with Charlie Parker's Dewey Square (II-101). Ari decided on something more jazz standard-y, All The Things You Are (I-22). Back to yours truly, we played an easygoing C'est Si Bon (I-65). Raphael went the Latin route by taking on So Nice (Summer Samba) (I-362). Ari tried to get us in a funky mood with Cantelope Island (II-76), though we were only moderately funky. Your scribe opted for a bit of Ellington with Perdido (II-311). Raphael took us down a difficult but fun path by choosing Four Brothers (II-138). We finished off with Ari's pick, Au Privave (I-37).
Hope to see you next time!
