A healthy group showed up for the Workshop this last time, including a newcomer. Jack H (tenor), joined regulars Sam (trumpet, trombone) Steve C (piano), Raphael (bass), Carl (trombone), Ari (trumpet, flugelhorn), Jack K (trumpet), Serdar (guitar), Bill (vocals), and Steve H (soprano). There were enough people getting into their solos that we barely got around the circle once.
Ari got things going with his choice of All Blues (I-18). Sam took the reins on the next song, My Little Suede Shoes (II-282). Jack K sent us scrambling for enough Vol. IVs to play Smile (IV-402). Jack H opted for that great tenor song, Moonglow (II-275). There Will Never Be Another You (I-407) was the pick of our guitarist, Serdar.
Once Bill was set up for some vocals, he chose All of Me (I-20). Steve C. called for a Latin version of Here's That Rainy Day (I-175). Bill got in the Latin mood as well, with The Girl From Ipanema (I-158). Raphael went back to Charlie Parker, finding Yardbird Suite (II-433). Bill once more channeled his inner Frank with Come Fly With Me (III-80). Jack K's choice, I Thought About You (II-180) was the last thing your scribe heard as he headed out.
