0.K....I Made A Little Bitty Mistake...So What? Big Deal...Who Cares? JAZZ TIME Stuff


by Jaime Oriz cc
Yesterday, it came to my attention that I...yes I [Jan],.... made a little bitty, teeny-weeny mistake...no one really HARDLY noticed, did they? Except my BARTLETT ON BASS. Well, perhaps one other guy too, but HE was so sweet [of course...a musician] about it and everything, that I didn't catch it right away. Just proving once again that ALL musicians are fine, caring, decent people.  But, I'm gonna fess up right now, cause Steve and I think all musicians should be recognized for their talents and efforts.....O.K?
You know folks...it's not easy doing everything perfect...and, as hard as I try...sometimes...just sometimes, some little tiny thing gets past me. Even when I DO check things out 'melodious' times...things catch me off guard, and I just make a mistake, that's all.
As you know, Steve and I have been so delighted to recently find jazz in Olympia  [it's BARTLETT's favorite type of music...even though he plays it all, and just LOVES ALL music]...where was I?...Oh yes, and there seems to be lots of jazz in this area, and lots of great players too. That we're JUST thrilled...But, it still hit us all at once, and maybe it was just a bit 'overwhelming' and all, and I lost my focus for a minute or two.
Anyway, on the first Sunday of each month, from 2:30 to 5 pm, TRADITIONS CAFE' AND OLD WORLD ART in downtown Olympia has a wonderful JAZZ JAM, and two weeks ago, was our first time Sunday there. Steve has been to ...maybe 1000's of jams over the years...AND, this jam was like no other..first,.they wanted 'charts', it was a day time jam, people were there for the music,. During the Tradition's jam a fine musician came up, played and sang,....'Feeling Good' by Nina Simone [thanks, Hakan Camcan for link]. It was beautiful. I loved it...and, during that jam there were...lotsa great players with guitars, bass guitars, keyboards, drums, trumpets, saxes, trombones, flutes, and vocalists  sometimes all playing at once too. I got mixed up alittle.
And, yesterday at the JAZZ JAM in Shelton when I saw again one of those wonderful musicians at this jam at THE GROVE STREET BREWHOUSE, jam from 2:30 to 5 pm on the third Sunday of each month. Anyway, I had Steve call an amazing trombone player over to my table, so I could thank him for his 'beautiful' voice and for doing 'Feeling Good' by Nina Simone...well, he just smiled kindly, asked me what song he had sung at Traditions..and, said nothing more about it. Thank you kind sir.
It wasn't til later last night, that Steve corrected me.
Support these Sunday jazz jams, there's some amazing musicians there. You'll have a great time. Jan
