Hmm, no, I'm anticipating April. But there aren't any jazz songs about March. Probably because it is March, not April, that is the cruelest month- at least in Minnesota.
Seventeen jazz musicians braved sunny skies and gentle north winds to come to the workshop today. I think that was our biggest turnout in a long time. The Craigslist ad remains the most effective publication tool we've used, even bringing in people who used to come to the workshop 15 years ago at a different park!
Today as had an "instrumental hour" from noon to 1:00 and then the usual workshop from 1:00-3:45, when it was time to pack up. We covered songs that will be played at the "Bunny Breakfast" next Saturday- "Easter Parade," "East of the Sun," "Corcovado," "Gentle Rain," "The Bunny Hop," St. Thomas," "I'll Remember April," "I Love You," and a few others. We also played "Four," "All of Me," "Flintstone's Theme," "Ornithology," "Fools Rush In" and there were some others besides that. Four hours of jazz fun!
Next Saturday, on April 4, the regular workshop will not happen. The ensemble will be playing at the "Bunny Breakfast" from 9:00AM to noon. Hope you can drop in and hear us!
On April 11, we'll again meet at noon for the "instrumental hour" and then the regular workshop will run from 1:00-3:45.
