Cornet Chop Suey
While most people spent the past weekend devouring turkey, stuffing, mashed 'taters and so on, and then recovering from the resulting carb overdose, the St. Louis traditional jazz band Cornet Chop Suey was hard at work, heading to the west coast to perform in the 26th annual San Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival.
While they were there, the band was prominently featured in an article about the fest published by the Union Tribune newspaper. Trumpeter Brain Casserly was quoted extensively in the piece, and there's also a rather hard-to-make-out photo of trombonist Brett Stamps.
Back at home, Cornet Chop Suey will be in action on Sunday, December 11 as they play the annual Christmas event for the Saint Louis Jazz Club. StLJC events are open to the general public, too; call 636-305-0285 or 314-962-0683 for more information
