A couple of great months coming up, and we’ve got the newsletter to prove it! There is info on the Alan Frederickson Jazz Ensemble and the Queen City Jazz Band. There is also news on the UC Denver Claim Jumpers and their trip to France. (Yes, you read that right: FRANCE!) Reports on the Evergreen Jazz Festival as well as the upcoming Summit Jazz Festival. Another guest column by Peter Robinson and as always, the “Prez Sez” column and news from our event columnist, Walt Hewitt.
Say, do you want an easy way to help out the club? It’s simple – just give us your email address! The club can save up to $2,000.00 in expenses simply by emailing the newsletter instead of printing and mailing it. For those of you who have already supplied us with your email address, THANK YOU!
Here is some video of the Leaders Band playing at the annual picnic. Many thanks to Mike Johnson for taking and providing this video. You can see more of Mike’s videos at his youtube channel.
Some good stuff in there, including a brief bio of the band for June, Close Enough for Jazz. There is also news on the UC Denver Claim Jumpers, led by Bill Clark. We also have some info on the upcoming Evergreen Jazz Festival. And as always, our “Prez Sez” column as well as news from our event columnist, Walt Hewitt.
The May / June newsletter is dedicated to Alan Fredrickson, who passed on March 21, 2010, after a prolonged bout with pneumonia. There is a wonderful bio, recounting all of the amazing contributions Alan has made to the jazz community.
As always, we have our Prez Sez and A Little Bit of This… columns; bios of the bands performing for us – the Crystal Swing Band in May and the Marti Henry Swingtet in June. Guest columnist Pete Robinson has another great Pete’s Place article, and there is some news about our youth band, the DJC Youth All Stars.
