Masks in the building until playing, please.
Another nice turnout: Sam (trumpet, trombone), Jack K (trumpet), Jack H (tenor), Steve H (soprano), Steve C (piano), John (trombone), Raphael (bass), Carl (trombone), Bill (vocals), Ari (trumpet).
Sam began the festivities with Out of Nowhere (I-318). Your scribe went to a handout for a Latin version of the old Kalmar and Ruby tune, Thinking of You. John took us into deep waters with Dolphin Dance (I-119). Bill brought in music in his key on the old favorite, Dream A Little Dream of Me. Carl opted for the classic Latin tune Blue Bossa (I-50). Back to Bill for another vocal, we got another handout, this time for a little 3/4 bit, I'll Take Romance. Jack took a vocal shot as well, choosing Old Cape Cod (III-307). Serdar wanted to do the folk song Dark Eyes as a gypsy jazz number, but in the Real Book (II-90) it was in 3, so that's what happened.
Yours truly had to head out during Dark Eyes, but it was reported to him that the last two numbers were chosen as a tribute to the recently departed Wayne Shorter. Steve C chose Black Nile, while Raphael called Deluge.
Hope you can join us for the fun soon.
