Awesome night with many enthusiastic musicians ready to play - thanks to all the cats that drove down from Greely (UNC) to jam!

An Amazing Night! Happy Birthday Charlie Parker and thanks to the 14 trumpet players that came to sit in - I've never heard a longer version of Autumn Leaves!! Gisbert has decided that the tip jar each night is going towards the purchase of a Fender Rhodes for the Jam Session.

Every Sunday!

Red did not show - he was in Detroit. red holloway will be with us at the Pec next week

We rocked the house w/ Kieth Oxman's sax and Sabatella's originals - Geoff Cooke laid down the smooth bass solos while I set fire to the joint with my fire sticks!! My mom came down to listen with her friend Ciindy from New Orleans - thanks!

What a night for meeting people from the past: shannon, stephen, kay, rachel, and steve - what was wierd is that they all knew each other in some capacity.... The jazz rocked and it snowed at midnight-brrrr!!

T. Ball - euph.

Vlad Gershivich and Alex Nekrosov are incredibly gifted musicians and it is a pleasure to play with them! The crowd went nuts as we toured through jazz standards, funk, and euro-bop. Special Guest: Tom Ball sat in w/ his euphonium.

Over $2000 was raised for Robert's hospital expenses. The band closed with a rousing version of The Muppet's "Manuma Na"!!

The Cajun Buoys bring their rollicking style of jazz to the office lunch crowd!
