Aimee Nolte At The Green Mill Jam

Recorded at 2:00am on July 1, 2017 by my sweet new friends, Dominique and Ty Walker from Chicago at The Green Mill. The wonderfully musical and lyrical Eric Shneider ran the jam and invited me to play and then to sing a few tunes. It was an honor to share the stage with this man who has toured with Earl Fatha Hines and Count Basie, as well as to meet and play with the house pianist, Dennis Luxion and some energetic kids who were there to sharpen their skills. It's always an amazing feeling to drive into a new city and immediately have new friends to make music with. Magical.

Thanks!
Aimee Nolte

Very good Aimee.I heard you scatting threw the changes, not just staying in the centers.... Not to many, so called, jazz singers
can really do that. Kudos to you!

[ShirakoMD]

Bye Bye Blackbird is one of my favorite jazz standards, this is amazing!

[timbyrne]

Nice jam. Love the Green Mill and miss it. This is such an affluent society, why can't we all just learn harmony and jam together?

My hometown Chicago!! Great set Aimee. I've played the Green Mill many times. You sounded great. Only wish I was playing drums behind you on that set!

[brianpetersen]

Wow! what a great session. Inspiring!

[VaudeVilleClown]

Welcome to Chicago! (I knew I should have headed out to hear Clark Sommers last night.) Good to get to see you on video, at least.

And, yes, Eric kicks ass...always!

This keeps appearing on my mix manifest...and for good reason.

That was wonderful Aimee ! You have an amazing gift !!

[riayang]

Welcome to Chicago!! I would've gone there if I knew you were in the city!!

[vecernicek]

Aimees are best. Aimee Nolte and Cyrille Aimée are simply the best at scatting. And my other favorite singer was Aimee Winehouse. I guess I'm aimdicted.

[dwodo]

Darn it! If I knew you were right here in Chicago this afternoon I would have stopped in!

The Green Mill is great spot. Hope you had a great time in Chicago. If you're still in town, check out Jazz Showcase, Winter's Jazz, Andy's, and California Clipper for straight-ahead. Green Mill's got the best jam, though.

Black Bird one of my favorites My Dad use to sing it
