Played an awesome gig with the Esstee big band boys and girls last night. It was for a wedding at the Long Room in Collins St and it was very flash. Open bar, nice food, some nice women to look at and a couple of swinging sets of big band jazz!! It’s so great living closer to the city now cos I was able to get dropped off just down the road from the front door and had a car waiting for me at the end of the gig, right outside the door!! How’s that for service??
The band sounded really good last night. A couple of deps in the sax section but I’ve been playing with those guys for a while so it is quite comfortable. It’s my first gig with those guys that will actually pay a decent amount!! Loved playing 1st tenor even though there weren’t a lot of solos. Wish I could play gigs like that every week though.
Tomorrow will bring a whole new challenge though….
