[Trombone-l] Dave Taylor/Sam Burtis masterclass-Chicago May 19? Exploring possibilities.

[sabutin]

Hi all...

There has been such a quick and positive response to our dual 
masterclass in LA (Long Beach to be precise, on May 17th while we are 
both there playing with the [u]Mingus Epitaph[/u] ensemble) that I am 
now exploring any and all possibilities for a similar presentation in 
Chicago on Saturday May 19th, the day after the [u]Epitaph[/u] 
performance at Symphony Center.

We need a venue and some idea  of how many trombonists in Chicago 
might be interested. As I said in my original post about the LA thing:

>Talk to me, folks.

>I promise you, the Sam and Dave show is a trip.

>(We've been practicing...)

>Anyone?

Please get in touch with me if you have any ideas regarding this. PM 
me here or email me at <sabutin at mindspring.com>. We are both very up 
about the possibility of doing more of these classes. As soon as we 
figure out who the straight man will be in this duo, we're going to 
be A-OK.

Bet on it.

Later...

Sam
