Who was there? A reasonable cross-section of our Workshop mailing list: Steve C (piano), Sam (trombone), Jan (trumpet), Jack (trumpet), Steve H (soprano), Matt (vocals), Liz (vocals), and J.D. (bass).
We finally got rolling without a bass player, but Jan put in a call to one. Sam, as usual, called the first tune, Black Orpheus (I-49). Jack found an obscure one, Are You Real (IV-25). Matt took a vocal turn on Always (I-24). Yours truly had the privilege of the next choice, and went to Nevertheless (III-300). Steve C. pulled out a good one, Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams (III-455). Matt tried out a classic which he had never sung before, When Sunny Gets Blue (I-440). Jan opted for one he's been working on, Watch What Happens (II-413).
Back to Sam, we got his weekly surprise in Nostalgia In Times Square (I-336). Steve C. got a second opportunity, going with Don't Get Around Much Anymore (I-122). Matt was in charge of the final two tunes: East Of The Sun (III-104) and Moonlight In Vermont (III-283). By this point we had lost our bass player, who had only been able to be with us for an hour, and several others had to leave as well.
Hope to see you soon!
