Jordan revamped the set list for this one with a lot of big band favorites, adding a little variety for us. The show wrapped up the Jordan English Jazz Orchestra summer schedule, and quite possibly, my own. As we head into fall, the band will be working on possibilities for Christmas, and I hope to be exploring opportunities for my own work, as well. Watch this space for what’s to come.
Just getting around to posting this, but what a beautiful night for jazz at The Amp at Sam Michaels Park. Like the porridge in The Three Bears, it wasn’t too hot, it wasn’t too cool, and we didn’t get rained out. Add an enthusiastic crowd, it couldn’t be more perfect. The Amp is an almost brand new venue, and what a job they did. I’m certain you could fit a community band or orchestra in that space.
