NO WORKSHOP DEC. 10

Next Time: Sat., Dec. 17, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park) in the basement theater.

Masks in the building except while playing. 

We had a healthy crew again this week: Sam (trumpet, trombone), Steve C. (piano), Vern (accordian), John (trombone), Jack K (trumpet), Ari (trumpet), Raphael (bass), Serdar (guitar), Bill (vocals), and Steve H. (alto and soprano). 

We did a few warmups while the full complement arrived: Freddie Freeloader (I-151) and Four (I-149). After that we played Christmas and other holiday songs, both from the Real Christmas Book and from handouts. It was all quite a bit of fun.

Hope to see you on Dec. 17!

Next Time: Sat., 12/3, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park) in the basement theater.

Masks are required in the building, except while playing. Use the parking lot entrance. Bring your own stand.

A healthy group showed up for the Workshop this last time, including a newcomer. Jack H (tenor), joined regulars Sam (trumpet, trombone) Steve C (piano), Raphael (bass), Carl (trombone), Ari (trumpet, flugelhorn), Jack K (trumpet), Serdar (guitar), Bill (vocals), and Steve H (soprano). There were enough people getting into their solos that we barely got around the circle once.

Ari got things going with his choice of All Blues (I-18). Sam took the reins on the next song, My Little Suede Shoes (II-282). Jack K sent us scrambling for enough Vol. IVs to play Smile (IV-402). Jack H opted for that great tenor song, Moonglow (II-275). There Will Never Be Another You (I-407) was the pick of our guitarist, Serdar. 

Once Bill was set up for some vocals, he chose All of Me (I-20). Steve C. called for a Latin version of Here's That Rainy Day (I-175). Bill got in the Latin mood as well, with The Girl From Ipanema (I-158). Raphael went back to Charlie Parker, finding Yardbird Suite (II-433). Bill once more channeled his inner Frank with Come Fly With Me (III-80). Jack K's choice, I Thought About You (II-180) was the last thing your scribe heard as he headed out.

November 19, 2022

NEXT TIME: Sat., Nov. 26, 11am-2pm, basement theater of TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park)

Wear a mask into the building (you can remove it while playing). Use the parking lot entrance. Bring your own stand.

A decent sized contingent showed up for our "Jazz Jam" at TowerLight, and a number of residents stopped by for a few tunes to listen and applaud. Present were Steve C. (piano), Jack (trumpet and percussion), Steve H. (alto), Carl (trombone), Sam (trumpet and trombone), and Raphael (bass). 

Yours truly got things under way with That Old Feeling (III-393). Carl waxed nostalgic in his choice of After You've Gone (III-12). The world faded into the background with Steve C's pick, Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams (III-455). Raphael opted for a warm and mellow version of Poor Butterfly (III-324). We stayed in an oldies mood with Sam's option, Honeysuckle Rose (II-167). Jack brought us back to a different era, deciding on Four (I-149). 

Your scribe began a second round of tunes with an attempt at something Latin, going to Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (I-335), which took a while to get through. We returned to a bit of classic jazz with Carl's choice, Satin Doll (I-349). Steve C to us down a beautiful path with Beautiful Love (I-40). Raphael decided to make us work a bit, even on a ballad, choosing Coltrane's Naima (I-293). Some of us ran out of time and had to slip away as the group played Sam's pick, Parker's My Little Suede Shoes (II-382).

Here's hoping to see you at the next session!

November 12, 2022

NEXT TIME: Sat., 11/19, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park) in the basement theater.

Your scribe missed the Workshop "Jazz Jam" yet again, so he has nothing to report about who was there or what was played.

NEXT TIME: Sat. 11/12, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park)

Use the parking lot entrance. Bring your own stand.

Your scribe missed our opening festivities at TowerLight last week--and will miss them this coming Saturday as well. As a result, he has no notes on what took place last time. But be assured he is looking forward to getting together indoors to play some tunes with everyone as soon as possible.

--SJH

October 22, 2022

Next Time: Sat. 11/5/22, 11am-2pm, in the basement theater of TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave. S., St. Louis Park)

We're back indoors, Workshoppers! It is a residence for the aged and ill, so we need to wear masks into the building, and perhaps while we are playing if we are not blowing horns. I heartily recommend bringing towels so you are not emptying spit valves on the floor. Also, it will be advertised to members of the TowerLight community as a weekly Jazz Jam (NOT as a Workshop) as part of their entertainment, so residents may actually come down to listen, or even join in.

Bring your own stand and mask. (They have chairs.)

At our last session, we garnered a good crew: Jack (trumpet), Steve (soprano), Raphael (bass), Carl (trombone), Serdar (guitar), and Wes (tenor). Here is what we played for our last sunny (but cool) afternoon at the back door to McRae.

II-201 Indiana (Jack)

II-408 Two Degrees East, Three Degrees West (Carl)

II-207 It's A Blue World (Raphael)

II-44 Billie's Bounce (Serdar)

III-394 That Old Black Magic (Steve)

III-408 Time After Time (Jack)

III-13 Ain't Misbehavin' (Carl)

III-58 Bossa Antigua (Raphael)

I-407 There Will Never Be Another You (Serdar)

II-111 Doxy (Wes)

See you next time at TowerLight, Nov. 5!

Oct. 15, 2022

NEXT TIME: Sat., 10/22, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting--though it is shaping up to be a beautiful Fall weekend.

Bring your own chair and stand.

It was too chilly and damp for a meeting this past weekend, but this weekend looks really good, assuming the weather folks aren't just making it up. This may be it for the year, unless something comes through for an indoor venue. Hope to see you there for one last outdoor gathering!

--SJH

P.S. Just got word that the Powers That Be have nixed our application to return to indoors at McRae. They continue to want rent. Hope to at least see you outside on Saturday.

October 8, 2022

It was a bit too chilly to hold the Workshop outdoors on Saturday, 10/8. It looks to be even chillier this Saturday, Oct. 15. 

Stay tuned, however! We are working on a plan to get us back inside McRae Rec Center, where we were for many years. We will keep you updated.

--SJH

October 1, 2022

NEXT TIME: Sat., 10/8, 11am-2pm, back entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS) WEATHER PERMITTING.

Bring your own chair and stand.

The weather is supposed to be sunny, but cooler than our standard temp of 65F, but if it is not too chilly, your scribe will be there to see if anyone else is ready for one last fling before the cold sets in. And who knows what next week will bring...

Your scribe is a little swamped with work, but will get out the report of last week's meeting soon. There were only three of us, but it was fun.

--SJH

September 24, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 10/1, 11am-2pm, entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St. MPLS), weather permitting.

Bring your own chair and stand.

The weather did not look good shortly before our time last week, and your scribe had a number of tasks to do at home, so was not present. To date, I have not heard that anyone else was there, but I may hear otherwise soon. If so, I will report here. This weekend, however, promises excellent weather. Hope to see you at the Workshop!

--SJH

September 17, 2022

NEXT TIME: Sat., 9/24, 11am-2pm, entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

There Is No Greater Love (I-406)

All Blues (I-18)

A Child Is Born (I-79)

Countdown (I-92)

Next Time: Sat., 9/17, 11am-3pm, entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

Bring your own stand and chair.

Your scribe is sad to report that, despite the gorgeous weather last Saturday, not enough people showed up in a timely fashion to hold a Workshop session. So here's hoping this week is better!

--SJH

September 3, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 9/10, 11am-2pm, entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

Bring your own chair and stand.

A fun group showed up for our last gathering: Sam (trumpet, trombone), Steve (soprano), Raphael (bass), Wes (temor), Jim (trumpet), and Ari (trumpet, flugelhorn). 

Sam got the first call, Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise (II-355), which we took at a medium tempo. Raphael chose one that hardly anyone knew, a Hoagy Carmichael tune, One Morning In May (II-302). Your scribe, even though he left his alto at home, opted for a Paul Desmond tune, Wendy (II-418). A good piece for trumpet, I Could Write A Book (I-186), was Jim's choice. 

Back around again, with more players ready to contribute, Sam went with the Parker Latin bit, My Little Suede Shoes (I-xxx). Raphael went with classic Irving Berlin, Blue Skies (II-58). Wes kicked in with It's Only A Paper Moon (II-209). Yours truly moved up a few years to the Illinois Jacquet classic, Robbin's Nest (II-330). Ari felt the need to get some more Latin on the board, asking for The Girl From Ipanema (I-158). Before he left, Jim called for Have You Met Miss Jones (I-172). Before all the rest of us left, we finished with Sam's pick, Broadway (I-61).

Some good playing, stories, and encouragement were had by all. Hope to see you next time.

--SJH

August 27, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 9/3, 11am-2pm, entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

Bring your own chair and stand.

Besides Sam (trumpet, trombone), Steve (soprano), and Raphael (bass), there was someone we had not seen for quite a while--Bob (trombone)--and an old timer on the Twin Cities music scene, but a newcomer to the Workshop--Jim (trumpet). Much chatting and exchange of stories ensued. Also, jazz.

Bob was given the first call and, thinking to keep it simple, got us started with All Of Me (I-20). Yours truly kept it easygoing with C'est Si Bon (I-65). Jim flipped through the pages and landed on Black Coffee (I-45), which was played in a suitably bluesy fashion. Sam went with the trickier A Night In Tunisia (I-302), which kept us busy for a while getting the form right, until we found the groove. We then played Happy Birthday for four-year-old Stella, whose party was happening nearby. A bit of rain, prompted Raphael to move his bass under the cover of the front entryway, but then we slid into the obvious Stella By Starlight (I-382).

The swinging Gershwin tune Somebody Loves Me (I-369) was Bob's next choice. Your scribe changed the flow with a somewhat Latin version of Django's Nuages (I-307). After getting the tune under our fingers at a slow pace, we settled into a decent clip on Jim's pick, Oleo (I-309). Sam went Latin again, but on a typically non-Latin All The Things You Are (I-22). Raphael wrapped things up by calling J.J. Johnson's Lament. A lot of people had to leave at that point, and the weather go pretty threatening, so we packed things up.

Here's hoping we see you next time!

--SJH

August 20, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 8/27, 11am-2pm, entrance to McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

Bring your own chair and stand.

A smaller group this time out, despite the excellent weather. Sam (trumpet, trombone), Steve (alto), John (trombone) and Raphael (bass) were on hand.

We opened with a choice by your scribe, East of the Sun (III-104). Sam went Latin with Aquellos Ojos Verdes (III-25), better known to most of us as Green Eyes. Raphael dug back into the history books for My Lucky Star (III-293). John also stayed with jazz roots, opting for At Sundown (III-33). 

We came back around again to yours truly, who called a medium-up version of How Deep Is the Ocean (III-150). Sam chose an easy-going swinger for his second tune, Mean To Me (III-274). Raphael, apparently feeling nostalgic, pulled out Irving Berlin's Let's Face The Music And Dance (III-278), which is tricky to improvise on, given its varying length passages. Don't know what got into John, but he decided on Benny Golson's Stablemates (III-378), which we managed to get through without much incident.

Third time around. Your scribe sent us back to the 1930s again, going with Kalmar and Ruby's Nevertheless (III-300). Ever the contrarian, Sam went to the quicker Bernie's Tune (III-39). Raphael's choice was I'm Sitting on Top of the World (III-187). Fats Waller made an appearance on John's pick, Ain't Misbehavin' (III-13). 

Three of us had to leave at 1:30, so we finished off with On the Sunny Side of the Street (II-312). Another session when we played everything out of the same volume of the Real Book!

Looking forward to seeing more of you this coming weekend at the Workshop.

August 13, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 8/20,, 11am-2pm, McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), front or back entrance, weather permitting. 

Bring your own chair and stand.

We had a decent crew at the last Workshop: Sam (trumpet, trombone), John (trombone), Steve (soprano), Carl (trombone), Raphael (bass), and Serdar (guitar). We also had an appreciative audience at a kid's birthday party by the pool, which is always a plus.

Sam got the motor running with the lengthy Nica's Dream (I-299). John opted for the more traditional Satin Doll (I-349). Your scribe decided a medium swing version of Beautiful Love (I-40) would work. It did. Carl returned us to Ellington with his choice of In A Mellow Tone (I-206). Raphael felt it necessary to change books with Bolivia (III-56). It took us quite a bit of work and vocal counting to get hold of the form correctly, but when we did it was satisfying. 

Sam changed moods entirely with Stanley Turrentine's Sugar (I-387). Serdar felt the need to work on something in 3, picking Alice In Wonderland (I-17). John decided we all needed to work on a favorite of his, Wave (I-431); he was correct. Taking us back to roots, yours truly went with a bit of Gershwin from 1924, Somebody Loves Me (I-369). We completed our afternoon, as a number of us had to leave, with a spirited if choppy rendition of Sam's call, Four Brothers (II-282).

Hope to see you next time!

It came to my attention while I was out of town that weather interfered with holding the Workshop last time. Sorry to hear that. Here's hoping for a more successful weekend this time.

--SJH

July 30, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 8/6, 11am-2pm, McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS) weather permitting.

Could be at the front door or the back door, so look around. Bring your own chair and stand.

Your scribe is out of town, and left his scribblings from the last Workshop gathering behind. He can tell you that Raphael (bass), Wes (tenor), Ari (trumpet), and Serdar (guitar) were also present; however, he cannot report on the tunes played. Perhaps upon his return--which will not be in time for the upcoming edition of the Workshop--he can fill in the blanks.

Hope you can make it. Hope someone else takes notes.

--SJH

 Outside front or back, depending. Bring your own chair and stand.

Your scribe waited in the parking lot with a storm brewing. When Sam showed up, he said, "It's not raining yet!" But we opted not to get out the equipment, and it started raining soon after. Ah, well...next week.

July 16, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 7/23, 11am-2pm, McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

Might be at the front entrance, might be at the back entrance, so check both. Bring your own chair and stand.

Only three people stopped by on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon to play: Sam (bass), Carl (trombone), and Steve H. (soprano). We had fun. 

Your scribe started things off with a lively and fun version of Cole Porter's I Love Paris (I-189). Carl went to the mysterious with the bossa Black Orpheus (I-49). We went Parker (but not too Parker) with Sam's pick, Au Privave (I-37). Back to yours truly, it was time for a bit of Ellington, I Let A Song Go Out Of My Heart ((I-188). Carl went classic, choosing Autumn Leaves (I-39). Sam went unexpected, opting for the challenge of Take Five (I-397). 

Full circle again (it being a tiny circle), your scribe called Gershwin into the mix in Somebody Loves Me (I-369). Someone very not-Gershwin was evoked with Carl's choice of Blue Monk (I-52). Sam surprised us again by going totally traditional, Blue Room (I-53). Your scribe went with an easy flowing version of Isn't It Romantic (I-219). Carl was feeling it as well, turning to Dearly Beloved (I-103). Sam stayed in that vein, opting for All The Things You Are (I-22). Bass and soprano finished the day back with whom we started with a duet on a somewhat up-tempo version of Easy To Love (I-128).

So much fun, and we never left Vol. I of the Real Book. 

Hope to see you next time!

--SJH

July 9, 2022

Next Time: Sat., 7/16, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec. Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS), weather permitting.

Bring your own stand and chair!

Football camp was concluding behind McRae this past week. After some delay, the Park People suggested that we set up at the front doorway, which turned out to be much better shaded than the back, and has a working outlet! By the time noon rolled around, we had Steve (soprano), Carl (trombone), Wes (tenor), and Sam (trombone, trumpet). We were then happily surprised by newcomer Chris on guitar, so we had the enough rhythm for a successful gathering.

Sam got us going with Work Song (III-429). Wes kept us swinging with Doxy (II-111). Carl returned us to the blues with Tenor Madness (II-390). Your scribe opted for a not-too-slow These Foolish Things (II-392). Killer Joe (II-229) was Sam's next choice. Chris picked a not-too-fast Now's The Time (II-293). Wes passed to Carl, who went with In A Mellow Tone (I-206). Back to Wes, we played an old favorite, Groovin' High (I-66). Yours truly found a favorite of his own, Have You Met Miss Jones (I-xxx). We wrapped things up back with Sam and Take The A Train (I-398). 

Hope to see you this weekend! If it looks like there is an event out back, check the front door...

NEXT TIME: Sat. 7/9, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS) weather permitting. Bring your own chair and stand!

NO WORKSHOP THIS SATURDAY, JULY 2!

Independence Day weekend, and attendance is hard to come by. Also, I know we will be missing our two main rhythm players. So. 

This week we had a small but enthusiastic gathering: Steve (soprano), Raphael (bass), Ari (trumpet).

We began with your scribe's choice, Honeysuckle Rose (II-167). Raphael went tricky right away with Charlie Parker's Dewey Square (II-101). Ari decided on something more jazz standard-y, All The Things You Are (I-22). Back to yours truly, we played an easygoing C'est Si Bon (I-65). Raphael went the Latin route by taking on So Nice (Summer Samba) (I-362). Ari tried to get us in a funky mood with Cantelope Island (II-76), though we were only moderately funky. Your scribe opted for a bit of Ellington with Perdido (II-311). Raphael took us down a difficult but fun path by choosing Four Brothers (II-138). We finished off with Ari's pick, Au Privave (I-37).

Hope to see you next time!

Bring your own chair and stand!

Yours truly obviously blew it last week by cancelling the workshop based on the weather prediction. No more! From now on, you decide! I'll just send out a reminder of where it will be, and of our Workshop guidelines: 65F or warmer, and no rain.

--SJH

June 4, 2022

 Workshop OFF for Saturday, 6/11. Should be raining most of the day.

Since yours truly was out of town for last week's workshop, I have nothing to report. However, it appears that no one but Serdar showed up, so there is nothing to report anyhow. 

Let's hope for next week.

Next Time: Sat., 5/28, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St., MPLS)

WEATHER PERMITTING

Bring your own stand and chair.

The WEATHER PERMITTING is something to take seriously this weekend. The temperature looks favorable, but there is a decent chance of rain at the start time.

The weather last week caused cancellation, so nothing to report. Let's hope we have something to write home about this week.

--SJH

May 14, 2022

NO WORKSHOP May 21, 2022. The weather is not in our favor this weekend.

A nice roundup of workshop veterans this past week: Sam (trombone, bass), Jack (trumpet, percussion), Wes (tenor), Raphael (bass), Serdar (guitar), and Steve (alto and percussion).

Next Time: Sat. May 14, 11am-2pm, behind McRae Rec Center (906 E. 47th St. MPLS)

No time to right up a proper report of everything at the session, but suffice to say five people showed--Sam (valve trombone and bass), Carl (trombone), your scribe (alto), Bill (vocals), and Serdar (guitar)--and we played the following tunes:

St. Thomas (II-339)

The Girl from Ipanema (I-158)

My Romance (I-289)

LET"S START AGAIN!

 It looks like this weekend will be decent enough weather for starting up the Workshop for Summer 2022. Let's assume everything will be the same as last year unless and until we can find an indoor home. For now, though, here are the details.

When: Saturday, May 7, 11am-2pm (maybe 3, depending on who wants to stick around)

Where: Behind (the North side of) McRae Recreation Center, 906 E. 47th Street, Minneapolis
