Monday, February 15, 6:30-8:30 p.m. Michelle Covington and The Scott Bell Quintet Songs to Live, Laugh, and Love by You will not want to miss this great ensemble that last packed our May 2009 Gumbo. Vocalist MICHELLE’s great stylings are magically accompanied by SCOTT on keyboard, with DAN HURST on guitar and JOHN GIST on tenor saxophone. Tonight’s group will have ALEX HAMEL on percussion and PATRICK HANDLIN on bass. As a belated Valentine, you will hear great jazz standards and love songs such as My Funny Valentine, Baby I Need Your Lovin,’ and The Man I Love. For inspiration to make this New Year your best yet, she will give us her great interpretations of It’s A Wonderful World and Fly Me To The Moon. Her magnificent rendition of Over The Rainbow last spring will, hopefully, be repeated.
