Patrons enjoy J.J. and the Sunset Syncopators at the library

On Saturday, May 12, J.J. and Sunset Syncopators, an eight-piece jazz ensemble performed selections from the Golden Age of American Popular Music at the library. In anticipation of a good time, many who attended last year's concert started to fill up the community room well before the concert began. The eight musicians and vocalist Lisa Holmes entertained the full house for about an hour with internationally well-known American songs. This year, the band's leader, Jim Jones introduced each song with tidbits from old newspaper articles, broadcast news, tv programs, or narrated stories pertaining to the songs. They played: "I Wonder Where My Baby is Tonight", "Good Little, Bad Little You", "Make Believe", "And the Angels Sing", "Santa Clause is Coming to Town", "I'll See You in My Dreams", and "South Rampart Street Parade". Ms. Holmes sang solo for "Try a Little Tenderness" and "Georgia On My Mind" and sang duet with Jim Jones on "Play a Simple Melody". Most of the songs were upbeat and very appropriate for this beautiful California spring afternoon. The audience really enjoyed the concert, not just because they were nostalgic, but the music transcended time and was enjoyed by the many generations that attended the event. As usual, we had a great selection of cookies which were provided by the members of the board and everyone stayed long after to chat with the musicians.
