Dover Gailey Project @ Ivories - January 19th

Our monthly JSO members night was at Ivories last Thursday.  Hey, guys and gals, you are missing some good gigs!  The feature band of the evening was the Dover Gailey Project led by John Dover on trumpet and featuring Matthew Gailey on vocals.  The DG Project presented a tribute to Chet Baker's music.  They did it well.  John plays a very solid trumpet and I was impressed with Matthew's vocal efforts.  It is very satisfying to see a vocalist truly feel the song.  His emotional effort on "The Thrill is Gone" was my favorite tune of the evening.  I am sorry I did not get the names of the bass and guitar players; they provided excellent support for the leads by John and Matthew.

The service is good at Ivories; I particularly enjoyed my bread pudding dessert!!!

The opening set was an energetic piano solo by Kerry Politzer.  Would love to hear her as part of an ensemble.
