Not too many came to this Smiths Jam. Maybe there was some confusion over listing? I hadn't seen it earlier but it was there in the evening. Whatever, it was a nice outcome for me. Mitch and I arrived at the same time and Greg was alone playing guitar in the upstairs bar. I got the double bass from downstairs and Mitch got his sticks and we were a trio. The bass sounded OK but with a nut too high for my hands but I got in some walks. Then Michael arrived with an NS electric upright bass. Michael took over on drums when Mitch left and I got to play the NS and it was a dream. We had a few pianists and vocal/flute and a string of decent standards and jazz tunes. Such a pleasure to play and especially to play with Greg, wonderful player that he is. So, an opportune night to get to the jazz jam at Smiths.
