Jimmy opened singing a beautiful melody, C’est Ci Bon; he was right – this evening was SO good!

This isn’t the Boston Pops – Bob winter explodes on a fast Sing, Sing a Song, You could have heard a pin drop when he played sweet and soft on Duke’s Sophisticated Lady.
Bo Winiker
Bo sings Louis’s Wonderful World.
He was featured on Lady Be Good on sublime muted trumpet, then trading 4’s on open bell with Eli on tuba. They do have fun!
He takes out a smokey flugelhorn when backing vocals.
Herb Gardner
Herb played and sang Walking Stick — tribute to the cane he’s not using anymore since he broke his hip in March.
He’s playing in MANY bands, here and in New York!
Elaine Woo
Elaine Woo is a spitfire on vocals, singing down and dirty on Route 66. She also sang Billie Holiday’s Getting Some Fun Out of Life, a sweet Embraceable You, and It Might as Well Be Spring. She joined Carolyn later.
Carolyn joins Hot Five for Washboard Round-o-lay.
…..and we loved Miami Rhumba!
Carolyn and Elaine brought the house down on Darktown Strutters Ball.
These world-class musicians really enjoy playing together every chance they get.
We really missed our favorite tenor sax, Ted Casher, and look forward to hearing him again.
It was a fun, unforgettable evening!! Hopefully, Eli and The Hot Six will be back August 18th. See you there?? Mark your calendars!
