Another blog, another week of great music to listen too.

At The Hedsor Bar this week we have two musicians who have given a lot of their time to Hedsor Jazz over the years. On trumpet Lester Brown, and on saxophone Duncan Lamont Jr.

Both have played at Hedsor since before the man who led jazz here in the first place, trombonist Clive Burton, past away.

Both musicians play jazz in a very accessible way, and if you are new to the genre they are a great way of leading you in. Lester has come from the more traditional jazz end of the jazz field, whilst Duncan has tended to play and love the tunes associated with The Great American Songbook and showbiz. AND he knows all the stories about the tunes he plays as well!

 

Last week our jazz at Hedsor was on the slightly more adventurous side of the jazz spectrum. Still very accessible, but trumpeter Stuart Henderson and saxophonist Alam Nathoo played some sparkling and innovative jazz. Sparkling to the extent that you had to ask yourself, how can they think that fast?

 

Below is a add for an event in Cookham taking place near Christmas, but one that will still give a sparkle to anyones Christmas season. A player who is closely associated with Hedsor Jazz (OK, he lives near it and has played for us many times) saxophonist Vasilis Xenopoulos is coming with an excellent team of musicians, so do put it in your diary now.

 

Don’t forget that at Hedsor Jazz we have had to put our entry fee up to £12 and that we only can take CASH.

Below is the art for our October posters. If you have the opportunity do please print off and display. We do really need more people coming to our events.
