Gig Roundup
The week was rich in music and performance.
We each spent the early part of the week practicing hard for upcoming gigs.
Jonathan came along with me to my Jazz gig on wednesday. It was my first jazz gig on vibes, and I think it went really well. Recordings are available on the trio's website. Jonathan even sat in with the band for All Blues and So What.
Thursday Morning, Jonathan's middle school jazz ensemble had their first performance. They played Mo Better Blues, So What, and Sir Duke. They sounded super - the band held together very well, and the solos were fun to listen to.
The long day ended with Jonathan's classical piano recital - A "Beethoven's Birthday Party". Jonathan played 2 solo pieces, and we played a Sonata for four hands together. We hope to have a recording of that posted soon.
