Dick Wilson's Jazzbones performed at Kerrytown Concert House Sunday night and as usual it was a very good time, with a large, appreciative crowd and a nice relaxed vibe. Thanks so much to everybody who came.

Too bad we didn't get through either of the Bach fugues all together, but that's how it goes sometimes. Here is Fugue VII from the Well-Tempered Clavichord Book II, in a MIDI file and a PDF, page 1 and page 2. I was supposed to make up a bass line, leaving the actually low voice to the bass bone. We did crank through a lot of Thelonious Monk, Tadd Dameron, and other boppers, with the requisite Kai and JJ arrangements.

Upcoming performances:

• Saturday April 29, 10pm - Dean Solden Trio with Surry Scheerer @ Goodnite Gracie's
  
• Sunday April 30, 6:30-9pm - II-V-I Orchestra @ Creekside
  
• Saturday May 20, 10pm - Dean Solden Trio with Surry Scheerer @ Goodnite Gracie's
  
• Sunday May 28, 6:30-9pm - II-V-I Orchestra @ Creekside
  
• Sunday June 4, noon-5 - II-V-I Orchestra @ Taste of Ann Arbor
  

Finally, a reward for anybody who read the rest of this - 80s Neo-Surf band the Raybeats, in their second LP (never released on CD), "It's Only a Movie". This is a really good instrumental album and you should check it out. If you play it for your hip friends a certain percentage will fall over and go Omigod I don't believe you have that album.
