In the "Better Late Than Never'" department , here are a couple of quick items that came to my attention over the weekend about jazz-related performances on Tuesday, November 22 :
Vocalist Jeanne Trevor will sing at Brandt's Red Carpet Lounge beginning at 7 p.m. on Tuesday evening in a benefit performance for the Muddy Waters Theatre Company, a small professional troupe whose upcoming third season will feature plays by Sam Shepard. (Ms. Trevor is, of course, no stranger to the theater herself, having appeared in musical productions at the Muny, Stages St. Louis, and elsewhere.) Tickets will be $10 in advance, $15 at the door, and Brandt’s also will donate 10% of all food and spirits purchases from the evening. Call 314-540-7831 for reservations and more information
Also on Tuesday, the Meramec Jazz Lab Band, under the direction of Bob Boedges, will present their fall concert at 7:30 p.m. in the Communications Building Theater on the campus of St. Louis Community College - Meramec, 11333 Big Bend Boulevard in Kirkwood. The concert is free and open to the public, with WSIE's Ross Gentile serving as host and MC. For more information, call 314-984-7639.

This is a 'better late than never' attempt to thank my junior high (Normandy) music teacher, Mr. Boedges, who, from 1968-70, never let me slack up on my viola. I still play, though my audience are usually either not human, or my grandchildren, who think Grama plays a mean fiddle. Jackie glennn and I were always fighting for first chair. We are still best friends, although I live in California and she lives in Missouri. And while she has long since forgotten her viola playing days, I am forever grateful every time I place my chin on the chin rest and rosin up my bow and tighten the strings. So if you ever see this, Mr. Boedges, thank you for a job well done.
