Big news. I am going on a tour for 4 days in Kentucky over my spring break this year. 2-3 gigs a day across the mountainous state of Kentucky. 2-3 gigs a day sounds outrageous, but we are playing for elementary and middle schools. Our jazz quartet is educating kids about the only truely American art form. Jazz and Blues. I am really excited for this. We get paid (which is good) but we also get to teach kids about something they don’t really know anything about. We are planning out the presentation and music over the next few weeks. I think the plan is half talking/half playing with plenty of audience interaction. We will take students an a journey from New Orleans jazz all the way up to modern jazz. Swing, bob, hard bob, cool jazz and latin will also be in the mix. We are all coming up with songs we think would fit each genre best right now.
Also, Red Beard has a gig at the Grog Shop on the 27th. Check out the site for details. www.redbeardthemusic.com
