where was this played at?

[ScanlonJazz]

IAJE in Toronto. I can't remember the building's name off the top of my head, though.

good job! i'm a NIU student and i'm surprised at how small the turnout is for jazz events. it's really a shame. we have soulja boy booked though. hahaha. Was this interpretation of blue and green ever recorded and released?

[ScanlonJazz]

This is the only recorded version of this arrangement. This group did record a CD last school year and it should be ready for sale very soon ($10).

This gig was on the Friday morning of IAJE, so we weren't anticipating a huge crowd. We weren't sure if we were gonna have more than 10 people show, but we had 100-200 people come. I agree with ya , though. Lots of great music not being well attended. It's a shame, and we gotta spread the word to people about goin to gigs.
