The Jazz Music
Last night was a "morale event" for our team. We were treated to food, drinks and music at Jazz Alley in downtown Seattle. We saw the Ray Brown Trio, a jazz band led by bass player Ray Brown. It was the first time I had seen live jazz and it was fantastic. They played some of their own stuff, some Dizzy Gillespie and even a jazz version of "You Are My Sunshine". Then they brought out guest violinist Regina Carter and I wept. I never thought of the violin as a jazz instrument, but this woman made it work. It was a good time had by all, and my morale has definitely been raised.
