Pony Boy All-Star Big Band CSI
(Crime Scene Investigation)
Monday, March 30, 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

$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

(** Bob Hill passed over the hill last Thursday. He will be missed. He was a fine pianist, arranger, and a real musical gentleman.) |
