I joined the CR Jazz band back in January and we are performing this Saturday night at 7:30 with bassist Christian McBride and I am JAZZED!!! We have been rehearsing every Monday night and it's time to the show to go on!
We are performing some great tunes including Ya Gotta Try, Sister Sadie, Broadbottom, and several others. Yours truly has several solos and I cannot hardly wait. Director Tim Feldkamp has been awesome to work with and he is passionate about jazz! Thanks Tim for your hard work, dedication and commitment to continuing this incredible artform with the next generation.
We performed last Sunday night at Coe College with our lead trumpet player Rene Ybarrro in his senior recital. It was a great night and the band was cookin'! This Saturday night should be a great evening of jazz and I hope you can make it! Check back next week for a report and hopefully some pics! Tye out.
