I had the pleasure of playing the Childrens Healthcare of Atlanta awards dinner last night, as I have the past four of five years. I'm getting the hang of it! It's very cool for a corporate gig--the feed us, comp the parking, know their show, etc.
This year, I decided to change things up a little and do an organ quartet instead of piano, bass, drums, and saxophone. The band for the evening consisted of Randy Honea on guitar, David Ellington on organ, and Marlon Patton (with a broken left leg!) on drums. We'd never played in this combination before.
The quartet played a half hour for dinner, seven walk-ups for the big award winners, and one tune to send them away. I didn't record the walk ups or the last tune, but here's the dinner part:

Good stuff! See y'all next year.
