Tremendous evening! Tempos were right on, the rhythm section found its pocket from the get go, the band played dynamically. Monster trumpet section with the additions of Terry Connell and Tom Tumino. Brenda Ruf sat in on bari for Master Enright.
Meg had a loud obnoxious group from the Northern Suburbs who clammorred for Sentimental Journey all night. She also entertained a group of thespianic church musicians, one obviously living a lie (not that there's anything wrong with that). They all knew both Terri Lenz and Peg Mooney, two former OJPianists. Small world.
Drink of the night was Sambuca.
