My friend Gail Kennedy, who told me about the Easter sunrise services last Sunday, also invited me to photograph the celebration she and Ruth Bryan organized for the Men of Note archives. The evening featured some of the members of the band (the oldest is about 85), as well as the UK Jazz program. The latter performed throughout the night and included the UK Jazz Ensemble (above) and Repertory Ensemble. The Men of Note was the longest continuously performing big band in Lexington’s history (1967-2009). UK’s Jazz ensemble performed arrangements by Men of Note while individuals of the band performed alongside the younger players. I can’t say enough great things about UK’s Jazz Ensemble. These kids are so seriously good it hurts (in a good way). That I managed to get a group photo with only one guy’s eyes closed is a pure miracle. It was a really, really fine evening of music and good friends.
