The Beauty of the Beatles
On Sunday, November 17 at 2:30 PM also in Hanna Hall, we are hoping for a big turnout for our “The Beauty of the Beatles” Jazz Sanctuary. Our Beatles-themed Jazz Sanctuary two years ago drew a large, enthusiastic, and appreciative crowd, and we are hoping for more of the same. We will be performing a host of new (to us) Beatles tunes that Jock is (as I write this in late October) pulling together arrangements for. Along with the usual crew of Pastor Emilia Halstead on vocals, Joey Placenti on saxes and vocals, Ed Raczka on drums (and maybe a vocal - go Eddie!!), Jock Irvine on bass, and me on keyboard, we will be adding local guitarist and Beatles enthusiast Eric Bilodeau. Eric is co-owner of Strings ‘n Things with his Dad, Mike, (speaking as I was of resourcing area musicians!), and is an awesome player who, among other items on his musical resume, was the Tall Granite Big Band’s founding guitarist! The title of the gathering indicates that we will be including Pastor Emilia’s beauty-themed lectionary in our Jazz Worship Experience - the entirety of the afternoon should be an inspiring and memorable experience - bring some friends!
