7:21 PM: Not on the Hiawatha east lawn yet? You have time to get here and enjoy the West Seattle Big Band‘s only local outdoor concert this summer – the annual Concert in the Park, on until about 8:30 pm, with a special West Seattle Grand Parade-related presentation at intermission around 7:45. The band’s second number was “Warm Breeze,” perfect for this night, as WSBB director Jim Edwards noted.
Bring a chair/blanket and come join the 100+ people already enjoying the music – free!
7:35 PM: Ever seen the legendary CC at Chelan Café on Monday nights (6-9 pm)? She’s a special guest tonight:
And she’ll be back before the show’s over!
8:43 PM: The concert’s wrapping up with “New York, New York.” More to add when we’re back at HQ!
ADDED: More photos! Vocalists Jenaige Lane and Jeff Carter:
The band:
Yes, some people danced!
The program was mostly classics – plus an old rock song, Chicago’s “25 or 6 to 4.” CC was back for songs including “All of Me“:
Jenaige sang “It Don’t Mean a Thing If It Ain’t Got That Swing“:
Watch for the West Seattle Big Band’s performances at a variety of venues around the area – especially school benefits, a special focus of this group that has its roots at West Seattle High School.
