Concert - Jody, John, and George

Every couple of months, Jody Getz, John Lucic and George Lee each bring a new song for their trio to learn. Recently, Lee chose a 1960s Jimi Hendrix rock song, Lucic chose a Bull Moose Jackson big band novelty tune and Getz chose a slick CeeLo Green pop song. Part rock, blues, folk, standard, jazz, original and pop music, it’s difficult to say what kind of music they play, but it sure is a lot of fun.
