Waterbabies

On Sunday, we had a call from a friend, Dayle, inviting us over for drinks and conversation at her place. After a pleasant hour and a half with Dayle, her mother, Deny, and Nancy Cotter, Dayle received a call asking her to hustle down to the Osprey in Shelburne since only a very few people had shown up for the jazz concert being held. So Wayne and I went too.

The group playing was Mike Cowie and the Waterbabies, a jazz group out of Halifax. They were truly awesome musicians with some outstanding solos on bass and piano. They played their own arrangements of an assortment of standards and some unusual pieces. I particularly enjoyed their version of Cindi Lauper's "Time After Time" - a great way to spend Sunday evening. You can hear some of the songs they played here - Disk 2 of "In the Moment".
