Next Time: Sat., 1/13, 11am-2pm, TowerLight (3601 Wooddale Ave., St. Louis Park)
The Workshop got the New Year off right with a solid group of players: Jan (trumpet), John (trombone), Jack (trumpet), Steve C (piano), Steve H (alto), Raphael (bass), Sam (trumpet, trombone), and Serdar (guitar).
Jan was the first to arrive, so he got the New Year's first pick, Fly Me To The Moon (II-xxx). John took the next call with Doxy (II-111). Sam downshifted a tad with an easygoing version of Softly, As In A Morning Sunrise (II-355). Jack dropped the tempo further, opting for Candy (I-xxx). Yours Truly wanted to turn the heat up a bit while paying tribute to years past, and chose I've Found A New Baby (II-481). Serdar called All The Things You Are (I-22), with Intro also as an Outro. Steve C stayed in the same book, finding Out Of Nowhere (I-318). Raphael surprised us by not calling for anything surprising, going with There Is No Greater Love (I-406).
Back to the beginning of the loop, Jan kicked off round two with Girl Talk (II-151). John's second choice took us in the other direction: Ornithology (I-xxx). Sam took us back to slower with Angel Eyes (I-28), though it shifted back and forth between ballad and double-time feel.
At this point your scribe had to pull up stakes, but the group was still going strong.
Hope to see you next time!
