Summertime at Piedmont

Here are Dick Stageberg on trumpet and Steve Sanford on trombone improvising two times through Summertime. 

Summer Jazz Set Lists

Here is the sheet I did up for Ed to use running the mixer at our recent performance. Tunes without asterisks are standard Dixieland arrangements, those with one asterisk are ones I've done in the past and just tweaked a bit this time, and those with two asterisks are the ones I've done since this past March when I learned our hostess for this event was a lover of all kinds of jazz, not just Dixieland.

Performance Diary

Here are some pictures from our performance last night.

Here we are during the soundcheck, right after the rain stopped. You can see how everything had gotten scrunched together to keep the electrical stuff out of the rain. For the second set we moved the large amps out onto the lawn off to the side of the tent.

This shot shows Ed in the back running the mixer. The original plan was for him to be down in front, but the rain had us set up this way.

                            

This shot shows how the audience was on a level a bit lower than we were. There were also tables spread out around the lawn.

Here we are late into the second set.
