Good Morning Blog Readers

And this week we can look forward to an evening of live jazz at The Hedsor Bar. Not only that, but it will be delivered by a long time friend of Hedsor Jazz, that wonderful saxophonist Al Nicholls. This time he will be accompanied in the front line by another long term friend of Hedsor, trumpeter Lester Brown. That’s THIS THURSDAY, November 12^th.

Al has a big Texas Tenor sound that boots out nicely. He is also a great blues player, (*check out his band “Blue Harlem”). Marry that up with Lester’s Mainstream trumpet and flugel horn playing (occasional singing!), place it all in front of our regular rhythm section, and I’m sure we will all have a wonderful evening of friendly swinging JAZZ.

 Do look back to last weeks blog for photos from the last time Lester was with us.

for a good long look at Blue Harlem and Al Nicholls.

As it has been a Hedsor Dry week, I took the opportunity of reminding myself of another singer, singing alongside another guitarist.

“Jazz” is an ever widening form of music, with no one strict recipe. Try joining a Korean Lady Singer with a Swedish jazz guitarist. Listen to it with an open mind and prepare to be amazed.

and you will find Youn Sun Nah & Ulf Wakenius.

Do take a listen, there is much more of them both on YouTube, both together and individually. Ulf is an amazing guitarist, as is also his son Eric. If when you are next at a loose end, do take some time to search both Father and Son (an album title) and more of the concert footage of Youn Sun Nah. She has an amazing voice.

 

BUT don’t forget to follow any loose ends to Hedsor for 8pm THIS THURSDAY November 12^th

 

AND do keep an eye on this blog, as NOVEMBER is renowned for fireworks!!
