I walked in on "Sweet Lorraine". Clarence working that B3 and singing as if Lorraine was his childhood sweetheart. They follow with "Body and Soul". We know that it belongs to James Moody, but in all truthfulness, Jim does an A1 job with his solo. Danny's background brushes add just the right rhythmic touch.
The 2nd set opened with Clarence's original "Here's To Life". It came from 'the bottom of his heart'. You say you like the BLUES. How about "Pride & Joy"? Jim tackles the vocal with a different, kind of JAZZ oriented twist. It sounds good. Clarence follows with "The Best of Love". Talk about romance!. Barbara Glenn is in the house and is invited to the small stage. She opts for "Cry Me A River" done soft, slow and moody. She has the voice for it. She follows with "Old Black Magic" ala Latin beat. Me, the girls and everyone in the joint enjoying every moment. The trio does "Masquerade". Clarence makes you understand why they made B3's. Clarence again uses his vocal chords for "Summertime", follows with 'Ol' Blue Eyes "All the Way" and then tears my heart out with his version of "Misty". My eyelids are heavy but I am fain to leave Denise and Jackie on their own. I know! I know! They are grown women and can tend to themselves but --- they have been known to get in or cause some trouble at times.

...are just what they say---yesterdays. Yesterday (Wednesday)
they operated on my body. Today (Thursday) - I should say tonight - I operated on
Eggplant Rollatini, Pinot Grigio, the company of two delightful women,
Denise and Jackie and JAZZ provided by Clarence Palmer (B3/vocals), Jim
Adle (sax/vocals) and Danny (the brushmeister) Burger on drums. Danny doesn't sing
and he admits it!. The place was the bar at Cafe Vico.

A short note: The reason I write this is because I love music and words. I do not book acts. I do not promote acts. I do not accept invitations to review artists. I go to venues of my own choice. When and where is not influenced by anything other than who I would like to hear that night or day. If I don't like what I hear, I won't write about it. When I like it I let you all know. I never mention a name without asking permission. "Pardon me, Miss. Would you like to dance?"
