February 2012 |
Last month I had a great time teaching at the San Diego Adult Traditional Jazz Camp. This year marked my tenth year as a teacher there and every year I teach there I think I end up learning more then the students! I hope I'm there teaching for ten more years! Last month I also performed at the Cicada Club with Benny Brydern's Hot Club Quintette. I had a wonderful time I hope I can play there again sometime. It's quite a 'scene' as you can see for yourself on the video here. For more on the Cicada Club visit: http://www.cicadaclub.com/ |
This month I'll be at the Fresno Mardi Gras Festival with Ray Skjelbred and his Cubs. I'll also be leading George Probert's All Star Band on Thursday night. Unfortunately because of health reasons George will not be able to attend the festival. I see George about once a week and I can assure you that he's actually feeling ok and he's playing very well. But the doctor doesn't want him traveling and he's doing the right thing and following the doctor's orders. I decided to go ahead and have the band play the tune list he put together so at least he'll be there in spirit. I hope he'll be able to come back and play next year! |

Towards the end of the month I'll be at the Seaside Oregon Festival with the New El Dorado Jazz Band. I always look forward to playing so many of my friends (my friend Hal Smith will be on washboard!) and Marc Caparone and I will be playing hooky from Disneyland that weekend so that we can play the festival. The Ellis Island Boys are still going strong at Disneyland and we'll be there 2 or 3 times a week with definate dates through the end of March. You can find our date list at www.reynoldsbrothers.net or you can also "like" us on Facebook. Thanks for stopping by! |
