Jazz Stroll a success

Note: Jazz Stroll is a success.

Music filled the air Friday night during Main Street Enid's 2nd annual Jazz Stroll around the Square in downtown Enid. A variety of music, ranging from classic pop, jazzy standards, alternative rock and more, was offered up to listeners in six different venues. Tim Durham, a native of Enid but now living in Kansas, was the feature act at Callahan's Irish Pub. Before the evening's festivities began he said he really enjoyed the opportunity to return to his hometown to play. He said that he drove around his old neighborhood, his former home and school – all which evoked great memories. He played during the evening with Piper Leigh, also from Kansas. Their style of music incorporates folk, rhythm and blues and jazz.

Note: There's been a festival about different kinds of music in many different places.

Also on the musical menu were many local favorites including The Donnie Record Trio at The Q-Spot. Donnie's music is eclectic, with a bent towards classic rock and pop. The E-Town Rhythm Kings were jazzing it up at Panevino, owner Mickey De La Cruz said.

Cathy Nulph, singer for the Groovin' G's, was belting out jazz favorites at Pastimes to a large crowd of listeners. Owner Cindy Humphrey was taking a breather to sit for a minute and catch part of the band's set. Jim Nay, playing Friday night at Napoli's, strummed and sang through several of the standards for which he is locally known.

Billy Beck and Martin Henry were at Scribner's Art Gallery, entertaining the crowd there with their own style of alternative pop/rock. The weather cooperated this year, giving attendees the chance to "stroll" the square and pop in to the different venues to hear the great live music.

This event falls perfectly into Main Street's mission – to bring people downtown.

Note: Many people went to this places to listen to all the music offered by musicians.
