Finally, we had a picture perfect and warm spring day! The daffodils and the forsythia are in bloom, so the ‘yellow’ season has officially begun. Glorious day! And tonight, I walked to the Coonemessett Inn for the 21st Annual Evening of Jazz featuring the Falmouth High School Jazz Ensemble plus a professional quartet. This evening is sponsored by the band parents as a fund raiser for the school music program. Jonah plays trombone and Ollie, even though he is still in middle school, plays saxophone, in the high school ensemble. I am biased, but I think it was a fabulous evening. The high school band director, Andrew Helwig, is also a professional musician, and he played saxophone with the professional quartet and was phenomenal. How lucky the students are to have him as their teacher. What a wonderful role model. He treats the students as professional musicians and so they play like a professional jazz ensemble, and you can feel the joy as they play. Great weather, great music, great day.
