Today was the last Saturday workshop until after Labor Day, the McRae Park building being closed on weekends during the summer. We'll be meeting on Monday evenings at 6:00 PM throughout the summer. The first Monday evening jazz workshop will be in a few days on Monday 5/18. Then on Memorial Day (5/25) there will be no workshop, and then on 6/1 the workshop will resume each Monday evening. Usually the workshop will run until 8:45.
Today we worked on songs for the upcoming gigs on 6/6 (McRae Park Fun Day) and 8/1 (Freedom Jazz Festival). Those included "Four Brothers," "Yardbird Suite," "St. Thomas," "Ornithology," "Corcovado," "I Thought About You," "Feeling Good," "Centerpiece," and a bunch of others. The usual suspects (Annie, Vicki, Dick, Sam, Tim, Craig, Sheila, Paul, Wes, Ira, Jim, Gene) were joined by a couple of trombonists (both of whose names escape me at the moment) and Evan on drums and percussion.
