I WAS OVERWHELMED BY THE GENUINE WARM EVERYBODY SHOWED ME. A VERY SPECIAL THANKS TO BRIAN (DOOGIE) HETTIGER AND OF COURSE THE AMAZING MIKE LECKRONE.
SPECIAL NOTES:POST CONCERT GET TOGETHERS. I'VE GOOGLED THE PHRASES, "PARTY AT TRUMPET HAUS, PARTY AT TROMBONE HAUS OR HOUSE , PARTY AT TUBA HAUS, AND SEE NO EVIDENCE OF THEIR PRIOR USAGE. I BELIEVE THESE WORDS HAVE NEVER BEEN USED TOGETHER. WARNING: COMBINING LARGE NUMBERS OF HORN PLAYERS CAN RESULT IN SPORATIC, SPONTANEOUS OUTBREAKS OF GROUP SINGING AND CHANTING, RESULTING IN AN OVERALL SENSE OF EUPHORIA!!!!!
THANKS AGAIN TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO THESE SHOWS, HOPE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
I've just achieved a goal of a lifetime by finishing and mastering the Mark Pender-Jay McShann record. Jay McShann who first recorded Charlie Parker, and was author of songs done by the Rolling Stones and was there at the crossroads in the creation of both Bebop and Rock and Roll, has in my opinion never recieved his true recognition, The CD titled I went back to Kansas City, is a recorded history of my return to the home of my musical and physical upbringing , reuniting me with one of the true Jazz Icons.
A few months ago I got the very first Mark Pender signature model B&S Challenger trumpet.
My God this thing rocks. Special thanks to Gerhard Meinl, Bill Gibson, and all my great friends over at JA Music for taking such good care of me.
I'LL BE PREMIERING A SONG IN THE UPCOMING BRASS ISSUE OF JAZZ IMPROV MAGAZINE OF MY NEXT CD FEATURING THE LATE GREAT KANSAS CITY PIANO MAN JAY MCSHANN, WATCH FOR IT IN MARCH
A ALSO THANKS FOR ALL THE LOVE COMING INTO OUR myspace.com/markpenderband page.
Keep the love flowing
