Between the two shows of the evening, the ensemble played 17 selections covering several aspects of jazz. The famed “September Tune” began the first set, played easily and meaningfully by the society.  Tenor saxman Steve Marsh gave the first critical solo of the evening and then McMullen following on a beautiful trombone unaccompanied.  A rousing composition from McIntosh titled “Bumps” continued the first set and drove musically in a grooved set-up with solos by Marino (trumpet) and Webb (tenor sax). Next began a serene version of “Begin the Beguine.”  This outstanding gem moved quickly into wilder mode and trombonist Jorgensen filled the bill with an wonderful and completely unique solo. The band backed him to a tee and the audience loved it!
