B.Sue: A Denver French pop, electronic, happy concoction

Tonight I am inspired to get the band to play nothing but the jazz classics.  Jazz is one of my most influential genres of music with one of my heros being Bix Beiderbecke.  I once memorized how to play his solo in “Singin’ the Blues” on my clarinet and played it at his grave in Davenport, Iowa.  Taking jazz class with Ron Miles definitely had a huge impact on my love of the music and it has seeped into my own music in some small way.

But now I want to make it a much bigger way by having a set and even recording “B.Sue plays the classics, a night of jazz.”

I’d love to perform:
-All of me
-The Devil in the deep blue sea
-That old black magic
-My future just passed

And then some 1950′s jazz/ pop / doo wop
- Teach me tonight
- To know him is to love him
- I’m want to sit right down and write myself a letter
-Teach me tonight

2 songs that inspired me on the way back from the Avalanche hockey game tonight….

Harry Connick Jr’s version of All of me. I love the trombone and trumpet and Harry’s voice.  Timeless.

and this rendition of Devil in the deep blue sea by the Belleville Outfit (whom I’ve never heard of but love their cover of this song).

I am super inspired right now. Going to make it happen.
