CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF MILES DAVIS BIRTHDATE TODAY - 26 MAY 1926

Lazy Bones was the venue for the sound of Big Bands on Sunday night; a beautifully controlled Youth Ensemble under the watchful guidance of the powerhouse, and diminutive, Judy Bailey.
The group was extraordinarily well rehearsed. There was an occasional, "yep yeah" from the musicians; the trumpets and saxophones swayed in the front row; the girls held their own, including a walking bass. It was a light hearted revue of the history of the Big Band sound, with a very appreciative audience, and a laughing Judy bailey giving her musicians a thumbs up at the end!
