It was a hot time in the old town...

It was a hot night in Martinsburg for Fridays at Five (we are in the midst of one of the worst heat waves in years), but it was nice to get together with the Jordan English Jazz Orchestra after a summer season that has been notable for its rainouts. Always a good time to get together with these folks — it is a great reading band and Jordan finds great arrangements. Maynard, Buddy Rich, Roy Hargrove, Bill Potts, Doc Severinson and The Count, just to name a few. We’ll be back in action Aug. 1 at The Amp at Sam Michaels Park, so if you live in the 4state, check it out. You won’t be disappointed...
