Goodis and Glenn at the Snow Library, 4 October 2014

2 guitars, bass guitar and drumMarvelous guitarists  Tom Glenn and  Stu Goodis, with Martin Torres bass and Kareem Sanjaghi drums, were introduced by Bert Jackson at their performance at the Show Library in Orleans, MA on October 4, 2014.  It was great to have both of them here in New England!

They are both Emmy Award winning Composers.    With Goodis living in California and Glenn living in New England, long distance collaboration is a challenge, but fortunately for us they manage it.

Here’s a short version (mine) of their talent on My Shining Hour:

In the 1980’s, while Tom was teaching music at the Neupauer Conservatory in Philadelphia, he met Stu. Their relationship started as student-teacher but grew over 30 years to a colleague status. Tom introduced Stu to jazz. Their mutual love for jazz inspired each of them to become students of jazz virtuoso Pat Martino, Tom in 1971 and Stu fifteen years later.

They were supported today by Martin Torres, bass, also of California, and  Kareem Sanjaghi, drums, from East Dennis, MA, maintaining the beat and giving it the right feel.

This  band raised reminiscences of the great Brazilian Classical guitarist Luiz Floriano Bonfá.  Following is the complete, one hour program they played at the Snow Library – see and hear for yourself:

Goodis and Glenn were also featured at the Falmouth JazzFest, both the day before and after this performance. We hope they return with their bold, lyrical, and emotionally charged guitars!  When they do, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Lee Childs Memorial

Memorial for Lee Childs, June 19, 2013, by Marce.

JoAnne Childs gave Fans and Friends an opportunity to say a final “Goodbye” to  Lee Childs, at the Lighthouse Inn in West Dennis, MA, a year after his sudden, unexpected death in 2012. It was a terrible  shock for all of us!

Lee performed on clarinet and saxophone somewhere on Cape Cod and the Greater Boston area, many days a week for over 40 years. Some of the musicians who played with him were here to celebrate his life. A hot buffet and passed hors d’oeuvres were served.

The main band was led by Ted Casher, tenor sax, with Phil Person trumpet, Paul Schmeling piano, Michel Lavigniac banjo, Gary Johnson drums, and Laird Bowles string bass, playing many of Lee’s favorite tunes, Mood Indigo, That’s A Plenty; several musicians sat in.

Michel Lavigniac

 

 

Michel Lavigniac performed with Lee Childs for about 35 years. He continues Lee’s Sunday Jazz Boat out of Onset, with Rick MacWilliams tuba and Paul Nossiter reeds.  Rick was here today.

 

 

 

Michel, Stu Gunn tuba, Gary Johnson drums, and John Clark reeds represented the band that Lee had for years at the Edaville Railroad. Jimmy Mazzy couldn’t be here because he’s at the Colonial Inn every Wednesday. Just a Little While To Stay Here, John Clark had to learn Riverboat Shuffle  when he subbed for Lee. Just a Closer Walk With Thee; tuba and drum drove the band on Shine.

Gary and Ted returned, with Ted singing When You’re Smiling.
Ted picked up the soprano sax, and sang The Best Things In Life Are Free (or at least reasonable). Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans. Fantastic!   Back Home Again in Indiana was a hot one.

 

 

Pianist Bob Hayes was here with his grandson Kareem Sanjaghi. Kareem took over the drums for Honeysuckle Rose, with Ted, Paul and Laird all trading 4’s with the drums.

Gary Johnson returned for the Finale, Lover Come Back To Me, and Lee’s special song “Think of Me”   an arrangement done by Lee and Kurt Wenzel of the song from The Miz.

Jimmy Enright and I first heard Lee Childs playing outstanding clarinet in 1975, when he was in John Fuller’s New Cabaret Jazz Band with Jimmy Mazzy at Billy Mitchell’s Post Time in Nantasket.  We’ve followed him since at some of the places he’s played: Jordan’s Furniture, Top of the Hub at the Prudential Building, Edaville RR, Embargo, Alberto’s, Cuffy’s, Del Mar Bar and Bistro, Isaac’s, on the Jazz Boat up and down the Cape Cod Canal, http://www.nejazz.com/oldsite/LeeChilds2011.htm .

JoAnne had a special tribute for her husband; a plane flew overhead, circling the Lighthouse Inn, trailing a banner that read “THINK OF ME.  WE HEAR YOU LEE CHILDS.  FOREVER!  LOVE  ME.
