"Round About Midnight" Friday evening with the weekend off we thought we'd catch a live Jazz set in the CO. I pointed Google maps towards Dicks Den on High St. got in my car and proceeded to my destination.
Drummer Gregory Pearson, aka The Governor, led a superb ensemble of musicians: (Dolly) Setting the tone, stepped into the scene of an unscripted, unrehearsed live jazz performance with The Governor, his drop, lock snare power on drums nicely framed Dolly's smooth buttery voice. Ron Hope on percussion along with tight keys and horn made this a sweet, head bobbing experience, we certainly enjoyed the playing of some well refined masters of the craft. The other sublime cast of players included John Eshelman on piano, Roger Hines on bass and Randy Mather on Sax.
Nothing better than cool jazz in a dimly lit bar on cool, breezy, star bangle summer night.
