Here are three selections from the first set.
One is a haunting TOO LATE NOW, which could never be with these players:
Then, a song much beloved of Kenny Davern and Benny Goodman, Isham Jones' ON THE ALAMO:
Finally, STOMPIN' AT THE SAVOY (in two parts):
And its conclusion:
There's more to post from this particular evening, including uplifting visits from violinist Valerie Levy and tenorist Eric Schwam. Then, two glorious nights with Michael Kanan, Joel Press, Neal Miner, Pat O'Leary, Joe Hunt, and Ted Brown ----but such pleasures will have to wait--I'm off to the 2010 International Whitley Bay Jazz Festival, where I don't expect to do much more than listen to music, chat, grab a hurried meal or two, and sleep. Oh . . . and videotape, of course!
To be continued . . .
