A mash-up and jazz improvisation of music written for, and performed at Seattle's "First World's Fair" - the 1909 Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. Including the newly uncovered "Gloria Washington March" theme song written by AYP Bandmaster Fr. Innes in 1909; and marches, vocal songs like "Meet Me In Seattle." Collaged, contrasted and culminating with modern big band classics by Basie, Ellington and Seattle's own Quincy Jones. All of this in front of compelling slides and films of the 1909 Expo. Featuring an All-Star cast of musicians with a fun sense of artistic expression.
"This is sick, it's like changing the radio dial from 1909 to 2009. You're a twisted puppy. Thanks." - Dan Marcus, trombone

Pony Boy All-Star Big Band CSI
(Crime Scene Investigation)
Monday, March 30, 2009 - 7:30pm
Pony Boy Records Presents:
A Workshop Big Band Resurrection of
Ronnie Pierce's "Dream Band" library from 1946
Tula's Restaurant & Nightclub
2214 2nd Ave, Seattle, WA
reservations: ph: 206-443-4221
http://www.tulas.com
$8 cover charge
This will be an investigative workshop/rehearsal/rehydration of a book and big band that lots of the jazzers from the period raved about. Kids like Red Kelly, Marvin Thomas, Fred Greenwell, etc... They all said it was a great book, and a very modern band for the time... With Arrangements by Bob Hill** and Glenn Thompson. We will give it a reading and see what's been hidden away since 1946. We'll do some rendering, and make some recordings in "workshop" fashion for documentation to apply for a grant - for a more formal performance. We'll even do some on-stage panel interviewing of Ronnie Pierce and the author of a new book about the "Sheriff," along with some photos and historical perspectives. I came across many references to this band when researching the "Conversations & Deconstructions" piece. Ronnie has had the music locked away for a very long time - let's see what all the fuss was about.
Come on down for the spectacle!
Saxes: Travis Ranney, Alexey Nikolaev, Mike West, Bill Ramsay
Trombones: Gary Shutes, Dan Marcus, Dave Marriott, Greg Schroeder
Trumpets: Dennis Haldane, Mike Mines, Al Keith, Jake Bergevin, Chad McCullugh
Wandering French Horn High Notes: Mike Simpson
Rhythm Section: Greg Williamson, drums; Jon Hamar, bass; Dan Kramlich, piano; Jim Day, guitar
(** Bob Hill passed over the hill last Thursday. He will be missed. He was a fine pianist, arranger, and a real musical gentleman.) |
