Video and Pictures: Mona's

I took this video a few weeks ago at Mona's. You can't see anything, the point is just to listen...listen through the darkness and shaky camera (because I was dancing about).



Here they are playing Over In That Glory Land. They play every Tuesday night from 11 until 3 or 4 am. It's a jam session, so a lot of guys sit in.
The musicians in this video are Jesse Selengut (trumpet, vocals), Rob Adkins (upright bass), Gordon Webster (piano), Musselman (trombone), Dennis Lichtman (clarinet), and I think Nick Russo was on banjo but it may have been Clifton Hyde or both, and Cassidy Holden on another upright bass. There may be more...

Gordita (Yes, I said it.)


Rob and Peter, two of my favorite bass players.


I think that about sums it up.
