GREAT START FOR FEBRUARY JAZZ IN DURHAM

A bunch of good jazz in Durham, NC  last week.  Wednesday night jam session at the BEYU Caffe was rockin'.  Had a couple of folks I hadn't come across before - Baritone sax player and Alto sax player.  Thursday night at BEYU was the Michael Jones Trio - the guys were excellent as always.  Saturday's performance by the NCCU Jazz Vocal organization - Lenora Helm's folks - at the Hayti Heritage Center was smokin'.  The vocal performers were on;  the instrumental musicians were on; and the audience was on.  I hope somebody makes a video/cd  of that event available for purchase and let's us know about it.  Sunday Brunch at BEYU featured a jammin' duo that turned into a great quartet gig and the folks played some of my favorite tunes.  My appreciation to everybody involved in the live jazz that I was able to experience these past several days.  To the Durham/Triangle jazz community, please keep it coming.  You are doing a great job.
