ends with a stirring 'Round Midnight


Thanks to Mary Jo for hosting this beautiful evening of music in her home. And to Phil and Rhae Clore for bringing these events together every month. I'll remember this night for a long time. I was fortunate to get to sing a couple of tunes as an opener to Obie's sets and meet a lot of fellow jazz lovers. If you'd like to attend in the future, keep an eye on SOJA's website.

Ray's on the River

Last Saturday night I played at the beautiful Ray's on the River with Louis Heriveaux and Craig Shaw. We had a lot of fun, as is evidenced by all the smiling going on in this picture.

My New Website!

Come visit my new site! I may phase out the blog eventually, but this new site will be the place to go to for the most current info on my upcoming gigs. Also, it's able to hold a lot more photos, so I can show you many of my shots of the Atlanta Jazz Chorus and of my recent recording session with Bernard Linnette and company. Pretty soon, I'll have music samples too. Stop on by! lauracoylejazz.com
