i love a parade
Thursday, January 7th, 2010
hey you crazy cats
how’s that new year thing working out for you so far?
way back in sept 2009 my good friend and colleague SCOTT MERRIT and myself staged some sort of grand hallucination called THREE PARADES
two horn bands, one bagpipe band, three parade queens, all converging on a church tower, a gospel singer, me locked in the church tower doing a quasimodo, and of course balloons.
it was part of the always daring GUELPH JAZZ FESTIVAL
well here it is
be amazed

summer in the city?
Sunday, August 16th, 2009
hey you crazy cats
well it seems i have survived the summer round of junkie touring once again. It was great to see many of your smiling faces again and to meet some new ones . I like to think of that july tour as the “hot and high an low tour.”
Hottest temp 112 in mesa az
highest point 11000 ft at snowbird ut
lowest point -21 ft in the deserts of southern california
how does the body survive?
taking the rest of the summer off for some cottage time “sleep eat swim read repeat”
BUT!!!
part of the GUELPH JAZZ FESTIVAL
SEPT 13 2009 1:15 pm outside front entrance of St Georges Church in beautiful downtown Guelph.
My good friend and longtime colleague SCOTT MERRITT and i have concocted a festive spectacle for your entertainment and wonderment
it involves three separtate bands, complete with parade queens, converging on the St Georges Church bell tower (played by moi “sanctuary”)
fun for the whole family
hope to see you there
carry on
jeff
