And as usual our start time will be 8pm. 

That’s this coming Thursday, October 24^th. 

BUT if you want quality jazz that we have already tested for you, then Bruce Adams and Alan Barnes are appearing together TONIGHT October 22nd at The British Legion Hall in Marlow, See https://www.marlowjazz.co.uk/WEBSITE2024SEPT.pdf

Both have appeared individually at Hedsor Jazz this year!

Hedsor Jazz last week had one of our favourite compilations, a pairing of saxophonist Duncan Lamont Jr with trombonist Mike Innes and they were supported by Ken McCarthy, Peter Hughes and Martin Hart.

This was an evening of both harmony and melody. They played some tunes now little heard like “I Will Wait for You”, “What a Wonderful World”, and “In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning”, and that was just some of the first set. To say that the evening closed with “There’s a Tavern in the Town” will give you a clue as to the flavour of the evening. And the harmonies conjured up by tenor sax and trombone were to die for. They weren’t always perfect though. On one title Duncan picked the tenor sax but the tune was in the right key for the flute, so they staggered to a halt, Duncan chose the right instrument (flute of course) and off they went again! Yes, a great evening of tune and harmony, with enough time in the interval to catch up with the friends we have all made at Hedsor Jazz. My photos on last weeks set are below.

 

 

Dont forget to keep an eye on whats happening at the recently refurbished Dawkes Instrument shop in Maidenhead. On Saturday (26^th October) for example Dom Pipkin an exponent of New Orleans piano is playing from 8 ‘till 10.30.
