We had a rare treat here in Utah. In the small neighboring town we have a jazz ensemble that played last night. The group is incredible! The pianist is from New Orleans. The singer is from Las Vegas. The bass player was not there last night so I don't know where he is from. The drummer is from Utah. They are determined to make this a weekly event.
I can't believe that in a little town like Pleasant Grove we have world-class Jazz musicians for our enjoyment. A man in Dianna's ward bought some tickets to give to people. We went. There was incredible music and singing and people were dancing. There was no drinking or smoking. Just clean family fun. There were a couple babies. I brought a friend whose father is a jazz musician. She said it was great to be in a room, listening to Jazz, without it being smoke-filled.
When we left at 10:00pm (when it ended) we went back out into downtown Pleasant Grove. There was no one in sight. The street was empty and dark. The only light on the street was coming from the window of the music hall where we had just had a delightful evening.
I am hoping people will realize what a rare jewel we have and come out and enjoy its beauty.
I'm Back!

People from New Orleans, Vegas, Utah, and elsewhere are going to assemble weekly in Utah to perform Jazz? That's wild! And way fun for those who take advantage of it--you'd better spread the word. :)
