So unfortunately Cafe CoCo’s cancellation of live music on their stage has left Nashville’s only weekly jazz jam session homeless for the time being. I would very much like to continue the weekly session, but obviously need to find a new venue. I’ll keep you updated on the status as I try to figure it out. Please let me know if you have any thoughts about the jazz jam’s continuation (or discontinuation) and if you have any ideas about a new location.

Good times were had at Cafe CoCo this past Sunday night. The band played well and had a ball, as did the audience. If you didn’t make it out and would like to hear some of it, I’ve put most of the show up for a free download . The password is ‘coco’, but act fast as the mp3s will only be available for one week. I’ve also posted a solo clip in the setlist below, as well as links to the fine players’ personal projects.
Setlist:
1. Skeeter ‘Da - EC
2. Red Cross – Charlie Parker, arr by EC

My friends Susanne and Eric, one time high school sweethearts, are getting married today.
Eric and I played in high school jazz band together, among many other musical endeavors we shared.
RHS Jazz Band 1998 – Eric with the alto and yellow tie, EC with the tenor and blue tie
I remember vividly how happy Eric and Susanne were as prom dates a decade ago, and seeing them again this weekend I’ve noticed that same spark.
- Susanne and Eric true to form
For their wedding, I wrote Eric and Susanne a song that attempts to embody the feelings they shared then and how they’ve progressed to today.
A Love That Lasts
