Con Job

Sunday night was another of the Zoo's jazz night. I went with my big sister and a friend of hers. Playing was one of the Conservatorium of Music's big bands "The Con Artists" (get it?). They are a 19 (I think) piece big band. It was all pretty cool. All five of the sax players were pretty versatile - playing a couple of saxes each; plus all could play flute, some on clarinet - got some interesting music as a result. A good evening.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I finally (http://www.kjp.id.au/justification/archive/2004/05/10/ella_fitzgerald.html) found out that the name of singing with "ba-di-do" etc. is "scat" or "scatting" (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=scat). Of course.

Just like that song from 5? years back - "I'm a scat man, bee bap bap badap bop", etc. Of course!
