Man, I went to a great show last night at the Magnolia Hotel , downtown. There was a great, big band playing made up of a lot of the Old Stan Kenton Orchesta. There was a big crowd there and just about everybody on the Houston jazz scene was there to hear the band, and I don’t think anybody was disappointed. The music and the arrangements were really good and fun to listen to. My brother and his wife were in town and they went with my wife and I. The magnolia has become a great venue for great jazz music. Let’s just hope it stands the test of time. That’s the pool on the roof, very nice. The Lobby with the big fire place is pretty cool too.
