The Wolverine Jazz Band played to a capacity
crowd at the Sherborn Inn on Tuesday, February 28th, playing upbeat
jazz the whole night, from beginning to end.
They started with a lively My Blue Heaven, and did it perfectly. Everything sparked, and it
took off from there
Trombonist Tom Boates was in a playful mood all
night long, with his raucus, growling trombone. The highlight
was his scatting with Jimmy Mazzy. Didriksen was beside
himself, smiling all the while, playing a solid beat.
John Clark announced Dave's engagement to
his lady friend Cathy. The band had planned a slow song, then
an upbeat tune for the Finale, but reversed it to a sizzling
Swing That Music, then Trombonist Boates took over the drums
for an emotional and warm Memories, so Dave and Cathy could dance.
It was a sparkling evening, from beginning to
end.
Congratulations, Dave and Cathy! Live a
long and happy life!
