With the realization that there will always be more music coming at him than he can keep up with, John wonders why anyone would think that jazz is dead or dying.

Sadly missing the second set out of necessity, it would have been wonderful to hear such music for hours on end. But in a little under one hour, Geggie and his collected group of Canadian and American partners delivered a set that, like every show in the Geggie Concert Series, distinguished itself. It's hard to pick shows that top others, because they're often so different and well-conceived/executed, but for an evening of tight charts and uniformly excellent soloing from a larger-than-usual ensemble, this was certainly one that will be remembered by Geggie's near-capacity crowd.
