Sunday, August 16, 2020 - Mile High Jazz Band Presented a video called "Moten Swing, performed by Mile High Jazz Band." It is available as an unlisted video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhH-uEksGCg. The band presents its first virtual big-band recording, each individual part recorded by band members and guests artists in their homes in July 2020. This endeavor is one way for the MHJB to continue to work together as a group, even though the coronavirus prevents us from rehearsing together and performing for our dearly missed audience. Various dates in August - The 17th annual Jazz & Beyond Music and Art Festival was seriously disrupted by the coronavirus. It was originally scheduled to run from Aug. 7 through Aug. 23. All live performances at the beginning of the month were canceled or postponed. The new schedule has the festival starting on Aug. 19, 2020, with a drive-in movie showing of "High Society," featuring Bing Crosby, Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and Louis Armstrong. The festival will stretch into September (and perhaps later) with some live performances in front of a small audience, plus some live-streamed, streamed, and rebroadcast events on the Internet.
