Afternoon Tunes
May 3, 2025
It’s hard to get more pleasant than this, and I’m not even a jazz fan.
TH, the owner of Cloud Forest has been offering live music from his outside deck in the Spring and Fall on Saturday afternoons from 4-6. He’s been doing it for years now. This is the second time I’ve gone (can’t remember if I blogged about it two weeks ago).
Today’s was a 5-person jazz ensemble that included a trumpet player who used to back up Gladys Knight (two weeks ago, there was a guitar player who used to back up BB King). Today also featured a vocalist who was lovely. They did a lot of Cole Porter, some Miles Davis, all kinds of standards I knew, a George Benson song, and more; they played for two hours with a break.
He could advertise it more… the crowd is very small… but the quality of music is high and the setting is lovely. Warm day, light breeze, shaded patio, gin and tonics… lots to love about all that. And all free.
