Lover’s Lane Jazz Band Review
Lover’s Lane Jazz Band
Sunday, June 1
I attended a concert fit for jazz lovers at Lover’s Lane UMC on Sunday evening. The Lover’s Lane Jazz Band, now celebrating their 16th year, just keeps getting better every time I hear them. They opened with "All Of Me", one of my all time favorites. Also the name of a funny movie with Lily Tomlin and Steve Martin. They played pieces like "Take The A Train" by Duke Ellington, "A Foggy Day" by Gershwin, and "Laura" by Stan Kenton. "Caravan" originally performed by Duke Ellington and later covered by Chicago was fun and upbeat. Now "Soul Vaccination" by Tower of Power was introduced as a song to lift all sin from your soul and I don’t know about that but I did feel my chest lighten during that number so maybe it worked. I love any concert where you feel uplifted and happier when you leave than you did going in. I left with a spring in my step - just right for a spring concert. If you missed this concert the Jazz Band will be performing again on Sunday, June 29th at Lover’s Lane UMC 5pm for God & Country an old fashioned patriotic concert and pie auction. http://www.llumc.org I will definitely be looking for the cd of Chicago covering big band favorites that they played "Caravan" from.
