This coming weekend I’ll be heading to Inverloch to play/perform and enjoy the annual jazz festival. I’m playing with the Out for the Count big band and a band put together specifically for the event, the Dave Hedges Superband. It is usually a great weekend so am expecting nothing less this year. I haven’t been for a couple of years so it will be good to get back and play some jazz music!!

Just found out the other day that I have to take my baritone, alto and tenor saxophones. It’s going to be quite the car load but luckily they do all fit in my small car!! Not sure what I’ll be using them all for yet. I’m playing 1st tenor with Out for the Count and using the other two saxophones in the Superband. We’re having a rehearsal for the Superband tomorrow night so I guess all will be revealed. Looking forward to it.

Got lots of work to do so will go for now. Will be back after the weekend for a run down of the jazz festival.

Here’s a picture of me in the pit playing Bass Clarinet in the run of Spamalot that I did earlier this year.

The alto saxophone is not mine. I played Bb clarinet and tenor saxophone as well as the bass clarinet. The Reed 1 player played alto saxophone, flute, piccolo, sopranino recorder, oboe & clarinet I think. It was a while ago so I’m not 100%positive that’s all the instruments she played. Some were not written in the book but apparently were on the original recordings.
