Second Sunday Jazz Affair
JoRiCa!
JoRiCa! (John Turner - keys, Richard Clark - drums, Carlos Crull - tenor sax & aerophone) will be taking the stage on Sunday, May 12th to celebrate Mothers Day for the monthly PPJASS Second Sunday Jazz Affair. We were here last November, but a tiny little snow storm scared most of the folks away. The crowd was very small, at best, but we still had a good time. We were invited back as sort of a "do-over" and hope the weather will cooperate this time.
The trio will perform by itself with no augmentation. Since we are a variety band, there will be many different styles of music played and records probably be set as to the amount of songs included in each set as most of our songs are under 4 minutes in length. Since this. band usually caters to ballroom dancers, there will be ample opportunity for the dancers among you to show off your cha-chas, west coast swings, nightclub 2-steps, mambos, etc., etc., etc... While we have witnessed dancers trying out their steps to the Dave Brubeck Quartet's "Take Five" it isn't recommended, for obvious reasons.
