Next Time: Sat., 10/7, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park)
A peculiar day of duos and trios. Participants were Sam (trumpet), Steve H. (piano, soprano), Jack (trumpet), and Serdar (guitar).
Sam and yours truly were the only two at the beginning, and after waiting a few minutes, decided to take on Moanin', which proved tricky when our charts did not match. However, we worked out the details and made our way through it. Meanwhile, Jack arrived, and joined us on your scribe's choice, Angel Eyes. Jack then opted for Dancing on the Ceiling. Sam's next choice was Moment's Notice. Someone then called C-Jam Blues, which went without incident.
Sam had to leave, but Jack stuck around for some duets on ballads, first (I Don't Stand)A Ghost of a Chance, followed by Georgia on My Mind.
By this time, Serdar, had arrived, but Jack had to head out, so now it was guitar/sax duets, with piano backing up the guitar solos. We tackled Blue Monk, Witchcraft, On the Sunny Side of the Street, Somebody Loves Me, Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans, Do Nothing Till You Hear from Me, All the Things You Are, and, of course, St. Thomas.
Here's hoping more people can make it this weekend!
