No pictures from the Holiday Vocal Concert, but I do have a slide show of the LBCC Big Band Concert.
See and hear this slide show of me playing bass in the City Jazz Big Band, and singing Smack Dab In the Middle with members of Studio 8.
Most of these photos were taken by a very nice audience member. Thank you very much for the photos.
The concert consisted of two big bands. Here is a list of songs we played:

The LBCC Night Big Band is playing two songs from this album.
-Cool School Dropout By Les Hooper Band on the CD “Out of the Woods”
-Miles Back By Les Hooper Band on the CD “Out of the Woods”.
The bass parts are unpredictable at first. It took time for the song Miles Back to grow on me. Miles Back is a fun bass chart to read.
Does this cover make you think of Mortal Combat the video game?
