The Microsoft Jazz Band got together for their first concert of the year. For the last five years we have only done the ‘Day of Caring’ gig in September. But last year there were a lot of people interested in doing more gigs. Our venue, the Third Place Books enjoys some status as for as gig venues so we were keen to add them to our portfolio.
Here’s a picture of the gang including our new vocalist Shaz.
The set list consisted of some of my favs:
|
First Set The Red Door Lonely Street Girl from Ipanema – vocal Blue Skies – vocal String of Pearls 88 Basie Street Lisette 720 in the Books In the Mood Makin’ Whoopee – vocal Two O’clock Jump
|
Second Set Kansas City Queen Bee Do nothing – vocal Satin Doll Little Brown Jug Misty Basie Straight Ahead Corcovado All of me – vocal Lady is a Tramp – vocal Brown Baggin’ It |
And here is some YouTubeage with a montage of three songs:
