The Good Times Rolled

The Eddie Piccard Quartet had a great time and a great audience at the November 10 “Meet Me in New Orleans” concert in Mount Vernon. Audience reaction always makes a huge difference in the way a jazz performance goes, and this wonderful crowd gave us all the support we could ask for.

One More Time

Musicians with instruments

As Count Basie used to say, “One More Time!”

The Eddie Piccard Quartet is going to appear at the Mount Vernon First Street Community Center on Friday, November 10, to present “Meet Me in New Orleans.”

Dixieland Returns

Last November we had a real frolic in the Mount Vernon First Street Community Center.  The Eddie Piccard Quintet was joined by the Busch Boys, and we took a musical trip to New Orleans.  A great musical night!

And here’s what the cable programs call “Breaking News.”  We’re going to do it again.  The Busch Boys will join us in the Mount Vernon First Street Community Center April 29 for another round of Dixieland jazz.  Same personnel as last time.

Jazz Under the Stars

As these photos show, we had a great time at KCCK’s Jazz Under the Stars.  Large and responsive crowd.  A good night for jazz in Eastern Iowa.

Jazz Filled the Room

Here’s to a good time on our last night at the Longbranch.  Jazz filled the room.  Good energy on the dance floor and on the bandstand.  Viewers might note a touch of pride in the vibes-playing father of the drums-playing son.
