"Round About Midnight" Friday evening I had the weekend off so I thought I catch a live Jazz set in the CO. I pointed Google maps towards Dicks Den on High St. got in my car and proceeded to my destination. Drummer Gregory Pearson, aka The Governor, led a superb ensemble of musicians: (Dolly) Setting the tone, stepped into the scene of an unscripted, unrehearsed live jazz performance with The Governor, Greg Pearson, his drop, lock snare power on drums nicely framed Dolly's smooth buttery voice. Ron Hope on percussion along with tight keys and horn made this a sweet, head bobbing experience, we certainly enjoyed the playing of some well refined masters of the craft. Nothing better than cool jazz in a dimly lit bar on cool, breezy, star bangle summer night. John Eshelman-piano, Roger Hines-bass, Randy Mather-sax, Dolly King-vocals, Ron 'Chopper' Hope-percussion
