Sunday March 1st was as usual the preserve of the house band at the White Rock Trad Jazz Soc Hop. However, Rice Honeywell is still in Arizona so the Band had Glen Tremblay(Tpt), Evan Arntzen(Clt/Sax), Alistair Taylor(Pno), Scott Robertson(Dms), Don Ogilvie(Gtr) and Casey Tolhurst(Bs). High spots included Evan's perfect rendition of the traditional solo in High Society and the piano playing of Alistair which somehow gives the band a great rhythmic lift. Low spot was a Louis impersonator from Mississauga who sang while holding a bass! Fun nonetheless. Looking forward to the Vancouver Dixieland Society MiniFest next Saturday featuring the Phoenix Jazzers(apparently risen from the almost dead) and Black Stick. This latter group features aforementioned Evan with his grandfather Lloyd who although 80plus continues to play a mean clarinet. I am up for the Board of the VDJS which will be fun. Heigh Ho!
