I volunteered at the Gene Harris Jazz Festival again this year. The festival itself isn't so happenin', but it's the only thing in town. I was ushering at the Thursday night concert. And what I mean by ushering is, sitting next to the bar, talking with Becca and Dallas (the bartenders), and drinking free Diet Pepsi. After a bunch of student groups played (snore), a piano trio played. I can't tell you who they all were, except for Bruce Forman. He's a great guitarist and super nice guy. I met him at Port Townsend last summer and he remembered me : ). After the piano trio, the Gordon Goodwin Big Phat Band played a long set. They were a lot of fun. The third trombonist is Francisco Torres, whom I met last year at the festival. After the concert we hung out in the hotel bar with the rest of the band. They were all nice guys and Gordon's wife Lisa was great! It was fun hanging out with a bunch of musicians. I don't get that luxury all that often anymore. Yay for friends!
What else?? Oh, I've been trying to practice a bunch. I need to make my audition for Port Townsend by the end of the month. Speaking of, I should probably get going.
