"UNDECIDED": The EarRegulars Plus: KELLSO, MUNISTERI, ALLRED (2), O'LEARY, TIBBS, AU, a.o.(10.17.21)

The basic EarRegulars band for this Sunday, October 17, 2021, at The Ear Out (326 Spring Street, Soho, New York) was Jon-Erik Kellso, trumpet; Bill Allred, trombone; Matt Munisteri, guitar; Pat O'Leary, string bass. But by the end of this afternoon session, the quartet had become an eleven-piece brass fantasy: five trombones, three trumpets, two guitars, one string bass in splendid swinging harmony. I'll list them in solo order: Munisteri (intro); John Allred, trombone; Andrew Stephens, trumpet; Bill Allred, trombone; Gordon Au, trumpet; Joan Codina, trombone; Steve Bleifuss, trombone; Lou Salcedo, guitar; Jon-Erik Kellso, trumpet; Harvey Tibbs, trombone; Pat O'Leary; then a chorus of DOGGIN' AROUND, based on the same chord changes; Matt Munisteri to finish it all off neatly. Recorded and presented with astonishment, delight, and gratitude, by Michael Steinman for JAZZ LIVES (www.jazzlives.w...).
