[Dixielandjazz] Banjos and Brass St Louis---Update

[eupher dude]

Wow.

Chloe Feoranzo sat in with us tonight.  She's a student at Webster University, not far from The Sands, where Banjos and Brass plays weekly.  (no, not weakly.)

Chloe's reputation certainly proceeded her, and I don't think the reputation is nearly strong enough.  Goodness, that girl can play!

Jaws were dropping, and closing back to huge smiles all through the restaurant.  Chloe has a whole new set of fans.  We're fortunate that she's in St Louis, and also that she's into OKOM.  I look forward to following her career, and to playing many sets with Chloe.  If you haven't had the chance to catch her at a festival yet, you're missing a great sound, and you'll be rewarded once you do.

(Damn kids.  Playing so much better than I did at that age.  Sheesh.....Get off my lawn!) :)

Banjos and Brass is Bobby Grimm, Al Lehmann, and Larry Dodd, Banjos...Pat Arana, Trombone, and Steve Hoog, Tuba.  Some regular guests add fun every week, and surprise visitors make it all the better.  

Thanks to Beth Schweitzer for coming out, and bringing her family.  See you again soon, Beth!  (Yeah, Sunday....I know)

Sunday Dec 12 is the St Louis Jazz Club Christmas Party, featuring Red Lehr and the St Louis Rivermen.  Rumor has it that Jean Kittrell will make an appearance and sing a bit.  I hope that's true....
