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

[Beth Schweitzer]

Yeah as Steve said - Chloe is fabulous. And if you don't know about her
at all - she's a reed player. You can see a clip of her from the Sun
Coast 2009 festival playing with the St. Louis Stompers and Wally's
Warehouse Waifs on my youtube channel here:

And yes, weather permitting, Jean will be at the Christmas party. But
she says if there is any ice on the road, she's not going. So pray for
good weather! The band will be fantastic no matter what, with the added
bonus of Noel Kaletsky.

The B&B group was great once again and I love the Sands for featuring
our music TWO nights a week. Plus great food. And starting in January,
no smoking! What's not to like?

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....
