The Slice got into the spirit of jazz a couple weeks before the Lethbridge Jazz Festival is set to begin.

HBO3 including saxophonist Dave Renter, Guitarist James Oldenburg and drummer Brad Brouwer with special guest Kurt Ciesla on stand up bass entertained an intimate audience with extended jazz jams and solos for everyone.

Ciesla, who usually plays with the Corb Lund Band set his bass on fire with blazing fingers while the rest of the band sat back and let him do his thing on a John Coltrane song Mr. PC. which allowed everybody to shine.
