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

Last Sunday was an exciting day for me as I got a chance to play with the Nashville Jazz Orchestra in the afternoon and lead Cobb’s Mob! at night. NJO played an afternoon set at the Limelight, and I got a chance to wail on a Mike Crotty arrangement of Dolphin Dance and Christina Watson’s tune Free. I’ll be playing with the NJO two more times this month as well, on the 15th and the 23rd.

At Cafe CoCo I debuted a couple new tunes and arrangements. I’m not going to spoil those for you by posting them on here, but I have included some playing highlights below.
Straight, No Chaser arranged by EC.

Last week my good friend and colleague Sean Neukom presented a wonderful recital at Gallery One. From top to bottom, the event was really terrific. Gallery One is a beautiful room with fascinating works that made for a great setting. The artist Lori-Gene, who sketched each of the three performed pieces, produced amazing results. Sean not only played spectacularly, but also dissected and presented each of the pieces for the large audience beforehand. Like living liner-notes, Sean’s presentations helped the large audience get a familiarity with the pieces they were about to hear. Below I have posted Sean’s presentation on Trio For Oboe, Violin, and Cello by Alyssa Weinberg, as well as the subsequent performance. I hope you enjoy!
