Better late than never

But better never late!!

 

As my mum would say. And to ensure she wasnt, she always had the clock set 10 minutes fast!!

But this blog issue is kind of in between, as for the past week I have been suffering the kind of stomach upset that is often the but (oh dear) of jokes. Unfortunately it’s the sort of stomach upset that also means you have to stay close to, well, home!

Coming to Hedsor Jazz THIS WEEK two musicians who have become regular attendees for us. Long term associate, on trumpet, Lester Brown, and relatively new, but becoming a firm favourite with our Hedsor fans, saxophonist Martin Dunston. As our poster says, accompanied by the Hedsor Jazz Trio.

 

It is also whispered that a return guest singer may well make an appearance. New Orleans based Nancie Zhang may well enter the building.

 

Last week we had the presence of a mighty singer, Jenny Howe. Accompanied by Duncan Lamont Jr, and by trumpeter Simon Gardner, Jenny sang her way through a large chunk of The Great American Songbook. However, Duncan did manage to ensure that Jenny didn’t get it all her own way. He sang too! A feature as well entitled “I Like to Recognise tHe Tune”!

Not only that but we had, for just one tune, a sit in drummer in the shape (? word choice?) of John Sergent. So all in all a typical value for money Hedsor Jazz session.

My photos of the session (well one or two) are below.

 

Due to my little local difficulty I may have to miss this Thursdays session, but please, if you can, do support our live jazz offering at The Hedsor Bar. Nancie, who hails from and sings in New Orleans says of Hedsor Jazz “what a special place”.

Please help ensure it can continue to be so by supporting us.
