Craig Ball on clarinet!
The last performance at the Inn was
made up of a mixture of musicians who had been playing at the Sherborn Inn with
various bands over the years. Some of the performers included were Craig Ball, Frank Batchelor, John Clark, Dan Gabel, Gerry Gagnon, John Kafalas, Bob MacInnis, Dave MacMillan, Richard Malcolm, Mollie Malone, Stan McDonald, Ross Petot, Jeff Stout, and Steve Taddeo.
John Clark on clarinet!
Funnyman and jazz super fan Myron Idelson and jazz reporter Marcelle Enright were awarded mementos for their loyalty to the Massachusetts jazz scene.
All in all, it was a rather melancholy affair. The place was
packed, but because of this, the announcements and speeches of the various band
leaders was drowned out by a drone of people not interested in hearing their
words.
I myself, was prevented from taking any pictures near the
end of the concert because two rude dancers, even though I was there in front
of the band first with my camera raised, pushed past me two do their bizarre
meanderings right in front of me as I was about to take a picture.
Even though some great New England
talent played, the large crowd and some rude people put a dampener on the
evening.
