Jazz in the Park

By Elaine Bailey

“We have the most dedicated audience here this evening,” acknowledged J.R. Price, the director of the Greenville Municipal Concert Jazz Band, as a light rain fell through the tree-covered lawn.  Umbrellas snapped open to the jazzy beat of the first few songs.  While the musical sounds for “Here’s That Rainy Day” floated from the Marling Band Shell, a full rainbow appeared in the eastern sky. 

The rain tapered off to a light mist and the enthusiastic audience continued to tap their fingers and toes to the jazzy renditions of “Hot Java Jump,” “Don’t Get Around Much Anymore,” “Blues in the Night,” “Mack the Knife,” “Sentimental Journey,” “Zoot Suit Riots,” “Jump, Jive, and Wail,” “St. Louis Blues,” “Lean On Me,” “Flip, Flop, and Fly,” and “One Note Samba.”  The musicians closed the program with the crowd-pleasing rendition of “In the Mood.”

The next Greenville Municipal Concert in the park will be Sunday, August 28 at 7:30 with Doug Albright conducting.  The Labor Day Concert on September 4 will be the final performance of the year.
