The second combo was the Tuesday at 3:30 combo directed by Scott Routenberg. The show concluded with the Wednesday at 5 p.m. combo that is also directed by Scott Routenberg. Each combo left the audience in awe after each piece. The show started with the Monday at 9 p.m. combo that is directed by Cecily Terhune. The concert started off beautifully. The sextet started off with with the tune Poor Butterfly by John Raymond Hubbell. The sextet consisted of Dan Smith, Tim Hoblin, Zach Day, Danny Filipski, Mitch Borkowski, and Danny Yount. Poor Butterfly was one of my personal favorites
The quintet consisted of Adam Heller, Kendall Fowler, Chandler Boyd, Dan Sitler, and Tim Henderson. They started off with Blue Train by the great John Coltrane. It had a steady tempo and a smooth sound. The trumpet played by Adam Heller stood out during this tune. It was a great piece that the audience enjoyed thoroughly. The next tune played by this quintet is So Dance Samba by A. C. Jobim. The piano played by Chandler Boyd starts the tune out beautifully. The drums played by Tim Henderson keep the fast beat and tempo. The sax played by Kendell Fowler played wonderfully along with the trumpet played by Adam Heller. Both of these talented musicians stood out. The trumpet took the lead for most of this piece, but the bass played by Dan Sitler and the piano still stood out at portions. This piece ended on a loud note. Their next tune is Grass Fed that was impressively created by their director Scott Routenberg in one day. This tune had a fast tempo and a happy feel. The trumpet played by Adam Heller and the sax played by Kendell Fowler stood out during most of this piece. It was a very impressive and appealing piece. I enjoyed each piece of this quintet’s
