We've been "jazzing it up" lately in the Davenport Outing Club Ballroom!
March 8th, the meeting was held in reverse order to accommodate The Terrance Blanchard Quintet due to a scheduling conflict requiring that they be in Muscatine, Iowa by 1:30. They presented an entertaining concert starting at noon and finishing in time to leave by 12:45. We had numerous guests attending this annual event of our club.
The quintet was led by Terrance Blanchard on trumpet, with Pablo Sans on piano, Derrick Hodge on Bass, Kendrick Scott on drums and Bruce Winston on sax. The quintet was in the Quad-Cities as part of the "Visiting Artists Program" which is supported by the Davenport Kiwanis Club. They gave a concert performance at the Capitol Theatre on Saturday Evening as well as numerous Davenport school performances aimed at increasing the interest of music in our youth.
Then on March 22, we were delighted to have our own JB Young Junior High School Jazz Band grace our meeting. What a great testimonial for the Davenport School system! This fine group of young people did a fantastic job entertaining our members!
Thanks to all of these fine musicians who shared their talents with us!
Lucky :)
