Nicky, my grandson, and I went to hear the Route 66 Big Band at the Bellevue Crossroads. Nicky and I are aspiring saxophone players and we had hear great things about this band. We were not to be disappointed. The sax section was tight, acting as one, and thrilling to hear. And they played Lionel Hampton’s Flying Home among other great songs. The singer, I’m sorry I didn’t catch her name, but I took some pics, started out with the always hot ‘Fever’ and then cranked up the heat.
Quote: "In a band of notables, the bass player, pianoist, and lead alto were stellar. One of these days I’ll get their names. But if this band is coming to your neck of the woods, put on those dancing shoes and come on out to hear so old school jazz done the way it was meant to be." – Gandalfe
