Some of the following was on an older blog post and some of it is new information, so here is some quality info. for Jazz 4 Nothin'.
Most of the folders have been handed out; if you have not yet received your folder, either you have contacted Alison or Jon and they are sending it to you by mail, or you have not contacted them and you should do so if you wish to look at your parts during the winter break. The first practice is on January 11th, and performance dates are starting to appear on the schedule starting possibly in mid-April.
The following are links to recording samples through www.marinamusic.com, and you are urged to check them out, with special emphasis on "The First Circle" and "Malaguena": (When you click on "download mp3" either the page will move forward to a quicktime player or it is a free download which you can either "open" or "save" - just follow the instructions - it's all free). Also look for youtube recordings of other bands playing the piece, but make sure you have the correct arrangement.)

Have a great holiday season everyone, and if you are on facebook, join the Facebook group (search "Jazz 4 Nothin'") and join the discussion there. Remember, practices will run from 7-9PM at St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Doylestown, PA, and in a week or two, directions to the church will be posted in the blog.
