You Don’t Know What Love Is is a great opener and a fantastic arrangement by our good friend Eric Richards. One of the most consistently outstanding arrangers of our time, Eric is featured prominently on our CD because his charts (arrangements) are just that good! Eric,
You Don’t Know What Love Is is a great opener and a fantastic arrangement by our good friend Eric Richards. One of the most consistently outstanding arrangers of our time, Eric is featured prominently on our CD because his charts (arrangements) are just that good! Eric,
former staff arranger for the US Army Jazz Ambassadors (to name only one of his career accomplishments), has been a featured soloist with our group for many years. The variety of challenging yet downright fun-to-play charts he brings to us has been a never-ending source of great tunes for our set lists. It’s not far from the truth to say that we play an Eric Richards arrangement at least once per set. This chart on the jazz standard is a straight ahead burner, giving our two soloists, Tyler Farr on alto sax and Dan Johnson on trumpet, an extremely fun and driving set of changes to play. The chart goes from warp speed to a solid swinger, even slipping in the classic James Bond Theme quote.
In this show we’ll travel to Mount Princeton Hot Springs Resort, which is about 2 ¼-hours south-west of Denver and 2-hours west of Colorado Springs. The Mount Princeton Hot Springs were first frequented by Native Americans and in 1860; a way station, hotel, and freight depot were built to serve the railroad. The four-story hotel's prosperity did not last. The last mine in the area closed in 1924, and the railroad tore up its tracks in 1926. In 1950 the hotel was razed and more than one million board feet of lumber was saved and used to build a subdivision in Texas.
On the first Friday of every month, Open Media Foundation holds a free community event, Open Music Sessions, at the Denver Open Media studios (near the Sante Fe Art Walk) that spotlights local performance groups, comedians, musical acts, and nonprofit organizations.
Qbala was the featured musical act in May 2016. This is the fourth freestyle song in her set.
