Next Time: Sat., 8/5, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale, St. Louis Park)
Present at our last meeting were Sam (trumpet, trombone), Steve C (piano), John (trombone), Jack (trumpet), Raphael (bass), Steve H (alto), and David (trombone).
We got started with the apropos Heat Wave (III-143), Sam's choice. Staying with the hot theme, your scribe opted for East of the Sun (III-104). Sticking to the air theme, John's call was Come Fly With Me (III-80). Finally tossing aside the theme, and the RB volume, Jack went with I Remember You (II-179). Steve C went a little more upbeat with Pennies From Heaven (II-309). Billy Strayhorn's surprisingly swingy Upper Manhattan Medical Group (I-426) was Raphael decision.
Starting round two, and returning to our heat theme, Sam went to Miles' classic Solar (I-363). Yours truly stayed with the theme, but chose the breezy On The Sunny Side Of The Street (II-298). John decided on a bit of Latin, Jobim's A-Train-based So Danco Samba (III-360). Your scribe took over the keyboard for one last tune, Jack's call, I Thought About You (I-280).
Too many people had to leave at that point, so the fun had to end. But it continues this weekend. Hope to see you there!
