While the audience dined and discussed choices at the auction, the wonderful voice of Tamara Tunie and her accompanying quartet of, Roger Humphries on drums, Max Leake, Jr. on keyboards, Dave Pellow, on bass and Roby “Supersax” Edwards on saxophone, blew the roof off the place, with classic tunes and something special for all veterans.
Tunie looked fabulous in a black sequined gown, harkening to the classic ballroom era of the Cotton Club. Her stylish voice and tempo moved the audience, along with the searing sounds of the quartet. After Tunie finished her set, the auction continued briefly. Then once again it was, “All That’s Jazz,” with Jeff “Tain” Watts and band. His progressive rhythms on the skins, “cooked the house without grease” as musicians say. The evening’s goal was for the scholarship fund to reach $20,000 for education for the students.
