OK, Graduates; listen up -- this gets complicated! Former Newcomer and now Graduate Patty Jacquemin recommended this jazz group, with former Newcomer and Graduate Diana Slais' (the former Diana Washburn) husband on piano. Got all that? Now, the easy part: John Slais (piano) played jazz with Hank Allen (bass) and classics-trained flutist Norma LaTuchie on June 13th, 2003 at Figaro Bistro in Santa Barbara. Patty was right when she said it's a great sound. A dinner spot, Figaro Bistro has a bar area where you can just have some wine or a cocktail and enjoy the music. Members of The Graduates filled the place! It was a popular and enjoyable time, and may just be the beginning of a "music-around-town" event... Alas, no pictures.
