of course in place of <b>Ken McCarthy</b>.
Ken has recently had a spell in Hospital, is currently at home but with strict
instructions not to drive and not to lift anything. We hope he will be able to
be back with us soon, but we are using the time he is away to book some
keyboard players who have been to Hedsor in the past, and whom you, our
audience, have asked to see again. So do check this blog regularly to see who
it might be. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Our start time is now 8pm so don’t be late, and our entry
fee is just £10.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Alan Berry</b> is
a London based jazz legend. When I first came to live in Berkshire in the1970’s
he was the regular piano player with the legendary <b>Lennie Best Quartet</b>. I used to see them at “The Bell” in Maidenhead
in the days when you could park in the Station Car Park. Nowadays there isn’t one
unless you drive a taxi, and the pub is called “O’Neill’s”, which is, I suppose,
better than “The Slug and Lettuce”! Probably marginally better than calling it “The
Rusty Ball” as well, but I think you get the idea! Anyone would think I thought
things were better “in the old days”!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A CD was issued some years back with saxophonist <b>Dick
Morrisey</b> recorded at The Bell with <b>Lennie
Best</b> and <b>Alan Berry:-</b></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week (pictures below) sadly had no relationship to
our advertised program (!), but it was still a cracking session none the less. <b>Stuart Henderson</b> came and played
trumpet for us before disappearing for a holiday in Australia, and he suggested
that he would like to play with a saxophonist from Oxford called <b>Mike Wilkins</b>. Mike had played for us once
or twice before, and in my view is now a really accomplished player, perhaps a
bit hard toned and with some more rock phrasing, but still someone who knows
how to play jazz. So a great evening was had, with <b>Al Pirrie</b> on bass, <b>Nigel Fox</b>
on keyboard and <b>Martin Hart</b> on
drums.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It will be that wonderful saxophonist <b>Frank Walden.</b></p>

as Martin Hart, and since he first found <b>Hedsor
Jazz</b> he has enjoyed coming to play for us , and we have certainly enjoyed
him coming. He is a very gifted young player, and if you haven’t yet caught one
of his Hedsor Session, you really should take this opportunity of coming out to
hear him.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He was going to be partnered by trumpet player Johnny Thirkle,
but as he is on tour, we will have one of Hedsor Jazz’s long standing friends
joining Frank, no less than trumpeter <b>Stuart
Henderson. </b>They will be joined by <b>Nigel
Fox</b> on keyboard, <b>Al Pirrie</b> on bass,
and <b>Martin Hart</b> on drums.</p>

again. As many of you know our regular keyboard player <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ken McCarthy</b> is currently unwell, and we look forward to welcoming him
back to Hedsor Jazz just as soon as he can make it. Ken is liable to be away
for another week or so, and we are going to try and invite one or two keyboard
players whom we know you have all enjoyed in the past to come and join us. So
do watch this space!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week we enjoyed a return visit from that young
trumpet player, now part of the Hedsor Jazz tradition, <b>Lester Brown. </b> On this occasion
he was joined at the front by a real star of the jazz firmament, saxophonist <b>Al Nicholls</b>. It became a classic Hedsor
Jazz session, with great tunes and booting saxophone solos. We also had singer <b>Paul Cherry </b> drop by for a couple of songs in the second
set. Also joining us on bass for the first time was <b>Tom Mark. </b>He appeared to enjoy us as much as we enjoyed him and we hope to have him back. He was at one time the bass player with the Syd<b> </b>Lawrence orchestra!</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Overall it was a great evening of jazz and dare I say “social
intercourse”! Because at the interval many conversations took place, and the 30
minute break became a 40 minute break. However, we all still got our full 2
hours of jazz!</p>

hours of top class modern jazz all for £10 a head. We now start at 8pm every
week, and that earlier finish gives you more time to chat to the musicians at
the end of the evening.</p>

or two evenings with a difference. Some with emphasis on different jazz styles,
some perhaps with a bite to eat at half time. BUT we will have live jazz
playing at The Hedsor Bar every Thursday, and it will always be coming from top
players.</p>

there will be another session of HEDSOR JAZZ</span></b></p>
<p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">This

we welcome back that wonderful swinging saxophonist </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">Al Nicholls.</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;"> </span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">The saxophonist founder of the band “Blue Harlem” he
will be booting us along at Hedsor Jazz alongside a regular trumpet playing visitor,
</span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">Lester Brown</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt; text-align: left;">. Lester was with us
only 2 weeks ago, and then I thought he was playing better than ever.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">We
also have coming this week a bass player new to us at Hedsor Jazz, </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Tom Mark</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">. The info about him from a Google
search says <span style="color: #2b00fe;">“</span></span><span style="background: white; font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">He played various
instruments from the age of 10 before finally settling on the double &
electric bass. He studied at Leeds College of Music and The Guildhall School of
Music and Drama”.</span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> He has also been part of The Syd Lawrence Orchestra!</span></p>

number of performers, Johnny Thirkle and Alan Barnes to name but two, both of
whom you will see and hear this coming year at Hedsor Jazz.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #202124; font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Our regular pianist Ken McCarthy also did some
of his studies at the Guildhall School of Music. Sadly for us he is still
currently unwell, and so on keyboard this week we are again indebted to Nigel
Fox for coming to us .</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="background-color: #fff2cc; color: #202124; font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Another well known face at Hedsor Jazz, our man
of sound, Geoff Swaffield, sadly won’t be with us for a week or so as on
Saturday he suffered a stroke. Currently in Wycombe Hospitals Stroke Unit, I am
told he is doing well, is now up and able to get about using a Zimmer frame. I’m
sure we will all wish him a speedy and full recovery and look forward to seeing
him back at Hedsor ASAP.</span></p>

Both <b>Mike
Wills</b> and <b>Lester Brown</b> pulled out all the stops and I do believe it was the
best I have ever heard them play! Two of Clive Burtons favourite tunes were
played in the second set, and “Cantaloupe Island” and “Jeannine” were both
played to perfection. Our new finish time of 10.30pm was also taken advantage
of, as many stayed behind just to share the joy!!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week we also welcomed <b>Nigel Fox</b> on keyboard, and he
will be with us again this Thursday. Our drummer was <b>Martin Hart</b> and our bass player <b>Peter Hughes</b>.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">One thing to correct from the information given out on
the evening last week is that <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Al
Nicholls</b> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ISNT</b> with us this
coming Thursday. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">He is with us the Thursday
after (February 29<sup>th</sup>)!!</b> </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This week, Thursday 22<sup>nd</sup> February, we have <b>Frank Walden</b> on tenor sax and <b>Mark Ridout</b> on guitar. A real quality pairing!!
Just do a search on the search engine of your choice and you will see that
Frank is a well known saxophonist, and at one time was part of Amy Whitehouse’s
team. Do a search for Mark and you will see a similar story of a life as a
professional musician. He was last with us in November last year alongside
Frank. You really don’t want to miss this pairing twice!!</p>

so is very deserving of our support. Paul Edis is a superb pianist, and has recorded
at least one CD dueting with Vasilis. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Do check out <a href="https://www.pauledis.co.uk/store/a-narrow-escape-vasilis-xenopoulos-and-paul-edis">https://www.pauledis.co.uk/store/a-narrow-escape-vasilis-xenopoulos-and-paul-edis</a>
and also try YouTube for some video of the two.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Whilst your diary is out do also reserve <b>August 15<sup>th</sup></b> as we have just
booked that great British saxophonist <b>Alan
Barnes</b> to be our feature guest that Thursday evening.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">You might like to remember that Hedsor Jazz has live jazz
EVERY Thursday, and we have booked and paid for the room in Hedsor Club right
up until the end of 2024. So you MUST keep an eye on my blog, as we do have
plans!!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">That’s all for now folks, keep smiling!</p>Geoff Croninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320415942847116195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15748287.post-680801870190572024-02-13T03:42:00.000-08:002024-02-13T03:42:08.072-08:00<p><b style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">This week, my blog contains something for you to mull
over, as well as an indication of what you can come and see this week at Hedsor
Jazz.</span></b></p><p><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">As
you may know Hedsor Jazz is supported and organised by Jazz Angels, and Jazz
Angels recently had a meeting that led to the following discussion document.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Since
it was issued (29.1.24) we thought it would be a good idea to circulate it more
widely to gain reaction, and to perhaps find that all important manager for the
project.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">So
please read on.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Jazz Workshops, a
discussion document</span></span></b></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">At
our last Jazz Angels meeting during our discussions on sponsorship and the need
to attract younger people to Hedsor Jazz the idea of Jazz Workshops was
floated.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">As
discussed, it was suggested that during the summer months (school holiday dates,
which for Bucks C C are Wednesday 24 July to Friday 30 August 2024) we ran at
Hedsor some open invitation jazz workshop evenings where aspiring players could
join with more experienced players and use the hour or so before our Thursday full
jazz evenings to gain experience.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">If/when
a more well known musician was booked for the main Hedsor Jazz event that
evening, then perhaps that person could run a Master Class (one grade up on a
workshop!).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The
more experienced musician running the Master Class would be paid an additional
sum for his/her extra hour of instructional time.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">These
pre jazz club sessions would last for </span><span style="font-size: 17.3333px;">approx.</span><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> 1 hour, and be *charged for, with
the pupil players being able to stay on for the main session at no extra cost.</span></span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">Initially
we (Hedsor Jazz/Jazz Angels) would perhaps need to provide the instruments for
the rhythm section (piano, bass, drums), but we should anticipate that the
workshop attendees would like to provide their own if one of these (p,b,d)!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="color: #2b00fe;"><b><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">This Hedsor Jazz
Workshop will need to have a manager. *</span></b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">If taking an active part in the teaching on
a Thursday some payment for the hour should be anticipated.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">We
would need to let it be known amongst local schools as well as with separate
advertising that these sessions are available. It should also be stressed that
they are for jazz practice and not R&R.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">There
is the possibility that some of the students might well sit in and play as
guests for part of the main evening performance. Also eventually students could
put on a full evening performance (we did use some Brunel Univ. students some
year ago for an evening).</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">The
proposition is that we build up amongst younger aspiring musicians an audience
for our Hedsor Jazz sessions, as well as the workshops themselves becoming valued
events that could attract sponsorship.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;"><span style="color: #2b00fe;">End
of Discussion Paper.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">If
you would like more information about this proposal please talk to me (Geoff
Cronin), Mike Jeffries, Martin Hart or when available John Dutton.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Now
what is happening </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">this Thursday (February
15<sup>th</sup>) at Hedsor Jazz</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">This
week we see a return of </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">The Clive Burton
Celebration Quintet</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">. This consist of </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Mike

trumpet, </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Nigel Fox</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"> on keyboard, </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Peter Hughes</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"> on bass and </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">Martin Hart</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"> on drums.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">The
music at Hedsor Jazz was initially played by The Clive Burton Quintet, and
when trombonist Clive died, the rest of the band voted to have Lester blow in
his place. These days not everyone is available to gather as frequently as
before, but this week it is one of those rare occasions. Do please come along
and listen, perhaps to some of the tunes we used to hear.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">One
of the little mentioned activities at Hedsor Jazz is the opportunity to buy </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">second hand jazz CD’s</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;">. These are
available every week for the mighty sum of £1 each, and all the money raised
goes to Cancer Research UK. There is always a box of over 100 jazz CD’s for you
to brows through, and like LP’s and Cassettes, CD’s are beginning to find
favour again. There is nothing better than actually owning the recording and
the sleeve notes that go with it.</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 13.0pt;">Last
week Hedsor Jazz presented a complete band, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The Pirrie Pirrie Quartet</b>, plus one (our own drummer <b>Mike Jeffries</b>).
They consisted of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Steph Pirrie</b> on trumpet
and vocals, husband <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Al Pirrie</b> on
bass (as he often is at Hedsor anyway), <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Noah
Smith</b> on tenor sax, and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Martin Pickings</b>
on keyboard. An evening of interesting music and song (we don’t get “Cry Me A
River” at Hedsor very often) and the variation in personnel did encourage a
larger audience than was feared due to the heavy rain on the night. But it was
a good audience and a fun evening. For me the find of the night was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Noah Smith</b>. Great phrasing and tone,
possibly lacking in a bit of self assurance, but heck, he is the third new performer
to us this year who doesn’t look old enough to be allowed a beer! Mind you I’m
not sure if we should risk advertising a Noah again considering the rain we had
on the night! Perhaps we could counter that by getting Steph to sing “The Sun
Has Got His Hat On, and He’s Coming Out Today”!</span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13pt;"> </span></p>

also bringing the final member of their quartet<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">, Martin Picket</b> on keyboard. BUT, just to make sure it IS <b>Hedsor
Jazz</b>, our own <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Mike Jeffries</b> will be

this year, and he was accompanied by a young saxophonist now living in Bourne
End, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Alam Nathoo</b>. What a joy to have
him with us, and within walking distance of Hedsor Jazz. He has wonderful tone
and phrasing, and both were on display last Thursday. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We also had a fine selection of feature tunes last week
as well, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ken McCarthy</b> featured the
Mario Lanza hit “Be My Love”, <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lester</b>
blew his way through ”Yesterdays” and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Alam’s</b>
feature was “I’ll Be Seeing You”. Collectively straight jazz wasn’t forgotten
either, starting with “Four” and nearly ending with “Seven Steps to Heaven”.</p>

of our long standing Jazz Angels. A regular member of our audience for many
years, his funeral was only indicated to me too late for me to attend or to let
anyone know. Tina May once said to me that we are all one big jazz family, and I
for one am sad that I couldn’t be there for his cremation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In April we will be holding a special evening
to remember some of the jazz friends who are no longer with us and this will be
led by <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Vasilis Xenopoulos</b>. That will
be on <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">April 25<sup>th</sup></b> under
the heading of “Absent Angels”.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">There is nothing particularly angelic about Jazz Angels,
but the title came about through our first sponsor Ernie Evans. Ernie was a
great jazz fan, and a millionaire, and he sponsored local jazz using an account
called “Jazz Heaven”. When Ernie passed away we had to self finance, and so we
set up the “Jazz Angels” account in his memory. People who voluntarily
contribute to this fund are called “Jazz Angels”! If YOU would like to help
support live jazz locally, please talk with Jazz Angels treasurer John Dutton.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We do have a program set for March, and below is artwork
for a poster for that program.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Yes, the weather, and road closures, and potholes in
those roads that are open, have rather deterred some of you from coming out to
listen. But those of you who have come to us so far this year have had some
super sounds to listen to.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week, we may
have missed Alan Graham, now advised by his doctor not to to come out to play, but his sub, guitarist
Jezz Cook, had got together with Oxford colleague reed man Mike Wills and
arranged a super set of tunes to play for us. One or two had very appropriate
titles too. “You Forgot to Remember” for one, and for my family, who had
returned last week from exactly this, “Skating in Central Park” was another. My
pics are below.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">Coming to us this Thursday (February 1<sup>st</sup>, (!! Yes
really!), is a trumpet regular at Hedsor Jazz, Lester Brown. He will be backed
by Oxford based player, Al Pirrie . They will both be joined by the musician
who must now live nearest of all who come to play at Hedsor Jazz, saxophonist Alum Nathoo.
He has recently moved to Bourne End and he could probably walk to Hedsor Jazz
now! The next closest would be drummer Mike Jeffries, followed by our Hon. Pres
Vasilis Xenopoulos, now resident in Cookham!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last time Lester and Alam played together at Hedsor it
was the first time they had met. That was a great session and this time it
should be a really exciting reunion. Our new start time of 8pm applies.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We at Hedsor Jazz have enjoyed jazz every Thursday, Marlow
Jazz didn’t like to risk running in the cold and wind of January, but now
February has come, they have a Tuesday gig for you to enjoy:-</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">If you can, do support live jazz wherever it may be.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A few of us from Hedsor did go last Friday to Norden Farm
to listen to saxophonist Karen Sharp.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I know I’m biased, but I think Hedsor Jazz puts on a more
enjoyable evening. Karen was great, and the rhythm section backing her were 3 excellent
individuals. BUT in my view they did not make up a great team. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Towards the end of the evening they had fortunately
jelled a bit more, but you really cannot score rapport.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Some familiar faces were in the audience, I wonder where they go for their regular jazz fix?</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">More news and photos next week.</p>Geoff Croninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320415942847116195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15748287.post-90106145325672547012024-01-23T07:11:00.000-08:002024-01-23T07:11:09.157-08:00<p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;">A slightly delayed
blog issue this week about <b>HEDSOR JAZZ</b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">A number of time consuming delays including a credit card
that needs to be un-jammed, and it seems that even a Nationwide branch cant do
it!! And this morning lots of response by phone and email to a fake email that didn’t
come from me!!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It is a real shame
that the great idea for communication by computer has been made so much more
difficult to use because of scammers. I have been using computers and the
internet since the tail end of the last century, and the wonder and joy of it
has now been almost totally replaced by the constant need to safeguard ones
identity and the documentation you are sharing from the ever growing skill of the
scammers. A jpeg of the fake blog you may have thought came from me is below.</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><br /></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">But that isn’t what the blog is supposed to be about! What
we are about is Spreading Joy (isn’t that a Sidney Bechet tune?). Joy in listening to and sharing in live jazz music. <b>Hedsor Jazz</b> is having some great
sessions and this year could be a vintage year. For 2 weeks running we have had
trumpet players who are new to us and who are REALLY good. Last week, with <b>Duncan Lamont Jr</b>, we had one who is also really young!! <b>Mathew Hill</b> is old enough to drink
beer, but only just, and what a super player he is. It was a lovely session and
thank you to all our audience who turned out in some really inclement weather

our program. <b>Alan Graham</b> is at the
other end of the age range to Mathew, and sadly is no longer well enough to
come and play for us. He would love to, but his Medical advisor has advised him
not to do so. Get well soon Alan.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">As a replacement and to keep saxophonist <b>Mike Wills</b> company is guitarist <b>Jezz Cook</b>. Jezz is a great player,
often involved in the Gypsy Jazz music style, but he has also been known to play
some Benny Goodman style jazz with Mike on Clarinet. This Thursday we may get
both plus, you will have to come to find out.</p>

this week, and we have lots of things in the pipeline planed for Hedsor Jazz.
Some need a bit of polish before we can let you know what they are, but one I
can mention now so that you can put it in your dairy. Please don’t miss this one,
because on <b>April 25<sup>th</sup></b> we
are going to celebrate <b>“Absent Angels”</b>,
where we will celebrate some who are no longer with us, and the celebrations will be led by <b>Vasilis Xenopoulos</b>.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Anyway, more news later, and it is all exciting, but as
yet we can only keep you in suspense!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">PS, if you want to know more about who and what “Jazz
Angels” are, have a chat with John Dutton, he would love to tell you!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">PPS Recent gales have brought down a tree in Westwood Green.
You might like to view its final demise!</p>

THURSDAY?<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We have already reached January 18<sup>th</sup>. All the
mince pies and all the chocolates have been eaten, and the reality of WINTER is
now around us. But we do have something to raise our happiness levels. Hedsor
Jazz has that very melodic and informative saxophonist coming to us this Thursday
in the shape and sound of Duncan Lamont Jr. He will be on saxophone and possibly
flute and he will be accompanied by a trumpet player of his choice, Mathew Hill.
Mathew is unknown to us, so it will be fun to get to know him.</p>

for some years, Stuart Barker. I last saw Stuart at Marlow Jazz Club in the
Autumn and re-established contact with him. Our back row will be completed by
our regular keyboard player Ken McCarthy, (who is always a delight to listen to
every week), and on drums by Martin Hart. Martin has been leading jazz events both here at Hedsor
and elsewhere for over 30 years, and one of his long standing bookings is sadly
coming to an end this Saturday. </p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>Jazz at The Oakwood Theatre</b> in Woodley has been
running almost every quarter for over 20 years, but this Saturday will be the
last. With Martin will be that lovely lady saxophonist Sue Greenway. Some tickets
are still available if you contact their box office.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/woodleytheatre/jazz-concert-martin-hart-trio-featuring-sue-greenway/e-dqkvqx">https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/woodleytheatre/jazz-concert-martin-hart-trio-featuring-sue-greenway/e-dqkvqx</a></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last weeks Jazz at Hedsor was one of the most exciting we
have had in recently, with trumpeter Ben Cummings providing, not only
cutting edge trumpet, but very good singing as well. So good in fact that towards the end
of the evening in performing Clark Terry’s “My Gal” everyone was clapping along
with him in true blues club style! </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It was a gig that I had looked forward to, as we have
become to appreciate the ability of saxophonist Frank Walden from his past
visits to Hedsor. Ben had been recommended to us by our Hon. Press. Vasilis
Xenopoulos, and it should have had a bigger audience, and here’s the rub. Not
everyone who likes modern jazz knows the names of the current exponents of the
art. And although we are doing more advertising than ever, our audience isn’t growing.
We really need some new blood in our regular audience (not by transfusion, even
though 20 years ago I did have 8 pints of someone else’s!) but for some more folk to come regularly.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">No we are not
insolvent, and we do plan to keep going every week in 2024, but it is only fair
to the musicians that they see more people in the audience in front of them. The
players often travel many miles to play for us. Last week 2 of the band came
from Oxford and beyond. So please do encourage others to at least give modern jazz

would like to experience live jazz in the flesh (and blood!).</p>

had an excellent start to Hedsor Jazz 2024 with a pretty good attendance coming
out to listen to Mark Aston and Nick Mills, who played some great jazz for us.

learnt of the death of one of our long term audience stalwarts, Gill Jones, who
passed away on December 24</span><sup style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif";">th</sup><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">. Gill was a great fan, and had come to
Hedsor Jazz over many years and throughout the many changes he sustained in his
long life. Sponsoring, videoing, and sometimes bringing in friends old and new.
He had in recent years occasionally gone out of his way to go from Taplow to Reading
to pick up Jan Burton to bring her to Hedsor, and to take her home again after
our jazz evening because she was no longer able to get to Hedsor by herself. That’s
about 100 miles before he could get himself home! Gill will be sadly missed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Hedsor Jazz has now booked and paid for the
room at The Hedsor Bar for all of the Thursday evenings of 2024, and we are
working on the program for each of those nights. We aim to keep our entry fee
at just £10 per session per person. We are open to offers of further financial donation
and sponsorship; please see our treasurer (John Dutton) for more information on
your options for this.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Don’t forget that you can also become a
member of Hedsor Bar itself if you are not already. If you are over a certain
age, a years membership is just £10, and membership will give you a discount on
some of your bar costs!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Over recent months I have been cursing the
fact that Cookham Bridge has been closed, turning my easy 10 minute ride to
Hedsor Jazz into something like a wet and wandering half hour journey. NOW I am
considering that to have been the easy option. As I write this, Cookham is now
cut off by flood water, and yesterday Cookham Moor looked like one big lake, with

<p align="center" class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">We all know that Christmas
is now approaching, seemingly at the speed of an express train, BUT somehow it
has caught us all unawares. So I thought I would try and beat the game by
starting my blog a day early. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So at 9am this MONDAY
morning, I did, and at 9.05, we had a power outage! NOW at 11am, I start again!</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Why did I want to blog a
day earlier than usual? Well, 2 reasons. I still have my collection of
Christmas cards to do for family and friends, although I do keep trying to
transfer more to electronic means, but ...<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">And that all takes time!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Secondly, I know you have
probably read already what <b>Hedsor Jazz</b> is doing up until Christmas, and that we
are doing that from </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">8pm</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> each week
from here on in, (and I will tell you again before this blog is over!) but
what I haven’t mentioned before is that I have been invited to run a </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Christmas Jazz Concert in Maidenheads
United Reformed Church</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. And that is </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">THIS
FRIDAY December 15<sup>th</sup></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">You may remember that at the commencement
of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine Hedsor Jazz ran a fundraiser for Ukraine, and
the money raised was donated via Maidenheads United Reformed Church. We gave a
cheque presentation to their minister, The Rev David Downing. Well, he has
asked us to run a <b>Christmas Jazz</b> event in his Maidenhead church, and that will
be from </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">8pm on Friday 15<sup>th</sup>
December. Entry £10</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, and all funds raised will go to support their help for
Ukraine. </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The church has done a tremendous amount already for Ukraine, and are
active every month in shipping necessities out via Poland. Believe it or not,
pot noodles are used in their shipments, as all someone hungry needs for a hot
meal is a Pot Noodle and some hot water. This may be why Maidenhead is running short of Pot Noodles!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Playing for us at
Maidenhead on Friday is a group of jazz musicians that you will have seen at
<b>Hedsor Jazz</b>. On Saxophone and possibly trombone, </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Mark Aston</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. On Vocals </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Gill
Cook</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> (who will be with as at Hedsor for our Christmas Party). On keyboard </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Nigel Fox</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, on bass </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Peter Hughes</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">, and on drums, </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Martin
Hart</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. I might add in the odd word, thankfully for you, those word will not
be sung!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">So please come along and
support not only Ukraine, but live jazz. <b>Maidenhead URC can be found in West
Street, Maidenhead SL6 1RL. Entry is £10 per head.</b></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Coming to <b>Hedsor Jazz THIS
THURSDAY</b> is that fine trumpeter and raconteur, </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Ian Smith</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">. Rumour has it that saxophonist </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Ollie Wilby</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> will be with him. It would be good to see and hear him
again. I think Martin is having a night off, and that our drummer will be <b>Mike
Jeffries</b>. As usual, the bass player will surprise me! And I will be surprised
as well, because our keyboard player will be <b>Ken McCarthy</b>. Yes, he is with us
most weeks, but his playing is always surprising(ly good!).</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">That leaves just one more
week to go before our <b>Christmas Party, December 21<sup>st</sup></b> for fun and
food and great jazz for Christmas. Come and share in it all from 8pm.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

with him. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sarah Jane Eveleigh</b>. I
know some don’t enjoy singers as much as I do, and from previous experience I
have sometimes been disappointed by who does sing at Hedsor Jazz, but Sarah
Jane is a star. Her entire performance was without fault and I haven’t enjoyed
a singer so much in years. You would not be able to better it for an evening’s entertainment
no matter where you go or who you see. AND you would pay much more for the privilege
anywhere else.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">That’s it for now this

I will end by wishing you all a great Festive Time. Enjoy the food and drink
and family associated with Christmas.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Perhaps in a quite moment

Off, we are now in <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">DECEMBER</span></b><span style="font-family: "Tahoma","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt;">, and ALL OF OUR
GIGS AT <b>HEDSOR JAZZ</b> WILL NOW BE
STARTING AT <b>8pm<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Yes,
after 23 years of Hedsor Jazz gigs staring at 8.30pm, from now on we will be
starting </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">ALL</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;"> of our gigs at </span><b style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">8pm</b><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">. This is in response to our
audience’s requests, and by a majority paper vote, (honest).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">So
from now on it will be 8pm to 10.30pm. No change in entry fee, it will still
only be £10.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">You
will also be please to know that we will be resident at The Hedsor Bar for
another year, with it’s club bar prices and free parking. If you become a
member of The Hedsor Bar (for a nominal annual fee) you will also get a discount
on your bar prices. Membership runs from January to January, so do think about becoming
a member.</span></p>

the link will give you more information, and you will see that she has performed
with a number of people who have played for us at Hedsor and with others known
to us nearby.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">You
may notice that this singer is not the one on our gig list. Jenny Howe has had
to fly home to Ireland to be with her sick mother, and we wish her well in this
difficult time.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Last
weeks concert was performed by one of the people you will see on Sarah Jane’s
publicity, <b>Lester Brown</b>. He kept <b>Mike Wills</b> company at the front whilst <b>Mike
Jeffries</b> drummed away with Ken <b>McCarthy</b> on keyboard and <b>Al Pirrie</b> on bass.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">We
had an interesting selection of tunes, and although we were a bit down in
numbers (it was a cold night), a great time was had by all. One of those little
played tunes was “Dat Dere”. Sadly this wasn’t sung, I don’t think many people know
the words, but it is all about an inquisitive child wanting “that big elephant
over there”!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">“</span><span style="background: white; font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Hey mama, what's a square?</span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">
<span style="background: white;">Hey, where do we get air?</span><br style="box-sizing: border-box;" />
<span style="background: white;">Hey, mama can I have that big elephant over there?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Another
tune that I hadn’t heard for a long time was “Night Train”. Well that was how
it was introduced, but Jimmy Forrest nicked it from Duke Ellington. See the
Wikipedia cull below:</span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span style="color: #202122; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">"<b>Night Train</b>" is a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-bar_blues" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Twelve-bar blues"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">twelve-bar blues</span></a> instrumental <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_(music)" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Standard (music)"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">standard</span></a> first recorded by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Forrest_(musician)" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Jimmy Forrest (musician)"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">Jimmy Forrest</span></a> in
1951.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 6.0pt;"><span style="color: #202122; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">"Night Train" has a
long and complicated history. The piece's opening <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riff" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Riff"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">riff</span></a> was
first recorded in 1940 by a small group led by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Ellington" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Duke Ellington"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">Duke Ellington</span></a> sideman <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Hodges" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Johnny Hodges"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">Johnny Hodges</span></a>, under the title
"That's the Blues, Old Man".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin: 6pt 0cm 12pt;"><span style="color: #202122; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.5pt;">Ellington used the same riff as the opening and closing theme of
a longer-form composition, "Happy-Go-Lucky Local", that was itself
one of four parts of his <i>Deep South Suite</i>. Forrest was part of
Ellington's band when it performed this composition, which has a long <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenor_saxophone" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Tenor saxophone"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">tenor saxophone</span></a> break in the middle.
After leaving Ellington, Forrest recorded "Night Train" on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Records" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="United Records"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">United Records</span></a> and had a major rhythm
& blues hit. While "Night Train" employs the same riff as the
earlier recordings, it is used in a much earthier R&B setting. Forrest
inserted his own solo over a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stop-time" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;" title="Stop-time"><span style="color: #3366cc; text-decoration-line: none;">stop-time</span></a> rhythm not used in the
Ellington composition. He put his own stamp on the tune, but its relation to
the earlier composition is obvious. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

the way, I’m sure you all from time to time refer to Wikipedia. Please be aware
that they are trying to stay as an independent organisation, and would value a contribution

which means a return of Mike Wills on reeds with Lester Brown on trumpet and of
course, our regular trio of piano bass and drums, this week Ken McCarthy on

Clive was the originator of the jazz you now hear every week at The Hedsor Bar.
“Jazz Angels” supported The Clive Burton Quintet at Hedsor from 2002 until Clive’s
death from cancer in 2017. Mike Wills, with Martin Hart and the 2 other band
members of the time, invited Lester to replace Clive on the front line. So this
week we will probably hear some of the tunes that Clive liked to play. "Jazz Angels" STILL continues to financially support Hedsor Jazz</p>

of musicians come to play for us at Hedsor, all built on the foundations laid
down by The Clive Burton Quintet.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">And those musicians have provided some wonderful music
over the years. We are slowly progressing to the end of 2023, and the selection
and quality of the music we have had at Hedsor this year has been better than
ever. Last week, ex Humph saxophonist Karen Sharp came and played Hedsor Jazz
alongside trumpeter Stuart Henderson, backed by Martin Hart on drums, Nigel Fox
on keyboard, and one of the world’s best bass players Andy Crowdy.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Yes, we are truly blessed with jazz at Hedsor played by
leading exponents of the genre and this jazz session was no exception in being truly
marvellous. My photos are below.</p>

one or all of the Thursdays listed especially our party on December 21<sup>st</sup>.
It will be special, and it will have a selection of party foods for you to
nibble. No increase in our entry fee of £10 for this one. PLEASE NOTE however
that all of our concerts in December AND FROM <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>JANUARY ON will start at <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">8pm</b> NOT 8.30pm as has been our norm up till now.</p>

to raise money for Cancer Research UK by selling used Jazz CD’s at our Thursday
session and this year alone nearly £300 so far has been paid in. So perhaps you

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Thursday November 23<sup>rd</sup>
has a very special Hedsor Jazz concert with two stars (not falling tool
boxes!), in the shape of Karen Sharp on tenor sax and Stuart Henderson on
trumpet. They will be supported by Nigel Fox on keyboard with Martin Hart on
drums and a bass player as yet anonymous to me! </span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Sadly Ken will miss this one as
he has to attend to a funeral “up North” of a musician he has known since
school days.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Karen Sharp has been to Hedsor
Jazz a number of times before and is one of the best known saxophonists in the
UK. Once part of the Humphrey Lyttleton Band she is in great demand, and we
look forward to a wonderful evening of jazz. She has recently performed a
number of gigs with Stuart, so we anticipate a swinging evening. Our usual
entry fee of £10 will be extracted from you.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Last week we had a
musician at Hedsor Jazz who hadn’t been to us before, and I’m glad to say that
Mark Ridout wants to come again, because I want to see him again! He was
alongside saxophonist Frank Walden, who has been before and will also come
again, and the fact that they enjoyed the evening wasn’t lost on the audience.
The joy of their playing together definitely spread to the audience. They
played a mixture of jazz standards ("Lulu’s Back In Town") and some tunes less heard

be, </span><span style="text-align: left;">full of melodic improvisation.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We are so privileged to be able to attract such quality
performers to Hedsor to perform to so small an audience. Yes, we all need to
attract more to come and share the joy we are able to have, but secretly I know
it is a special privilege to listen to the quality of performance that we had
last week. On my way out last week I thanked <b>Al Pirrie</b>, our bass player, for coming to play for us and he said
it was so good to come for such a great session. He was still smiling as I
left. He still had to get back to Oxford!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">The other members of the orchestra were <b>Ken McCarthy</b> on keyboard and <b>Martin Hart</b> on drums.</p>

our start time for Hedsor Jazz. <b>From December
7th all of our evenings will commence at 8pm and finish at 10.30pm</b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b>One final sharing!</b></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I have mentioned it before more than once, but a BBC film
made in 1994 is now available on YouTube. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It’s called “Doggin Around” after the tune by Count Basie
and it is one of the best jazz films I have ever seen. It’s about the British
tour of an American Jazz pianist. The book was written by Alan Plater and the
dialogue is witty and the story both amusing and poignant. Follow the link and
give yourself <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>1 ½ hours of delight</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11VBmuQFFjM">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11VBmuQFFjM</a></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">It stars Elliot Gould, Geraldine James and Alun Armstrong.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">One jazz musician who spent his entire life in that world
said to me that EVERY Jazz musician should watch it. At one time it wasn’t available.
Fortunately I had recorded it onto video tape (1994 remember) and about 10
years ago transcribed it onto a DVD. But now some kind person has uploaded the
whole thing onto YouTube. The music credits are pathetic, the main character is
a pianist, but no mention is given in the credits of who is really playing the
piano. But its great jazz! </p>Geoff Croninhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08320415942847116195noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15748287.post-53741154154642189682023-11-07T03:42:00.000-08:002023-11-07T03:42:23.689-08:00<p style="text-align: center;"> <span style="text-align: center;">Jazz from Geoff

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We have a super combination! Duncan Lamont Jr on reeds
and Mike Innes on trombone, ably supported by Al Pirrie on bass, Ken McCarthy

need to pay considerably more than £10 to hear this class of jazz anyware else.

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week was fun, perhaps slightly less organised than
this week will be, but Mark Aston, (who did play his trombone as well as tenor
sax and clarinet, just as I hinted in last weeks blog) had never met James Fenn
(on guitar) before. I think with a few more meetings this could be a wonderful
duo combination. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">James insists on travelling (even in a gale seemingly) to
Hedsor by bicycle!!So he has to plug in to our PA system rather than bring his
own amp. But he has great technique and I think enormous potential.</p>

and rain against him, he may now choose to come by car, BUT of course, curse
curse, (it is Halloween!) <b>Cookham Bridge is now closed</b>. Cars no, bikes yes!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week we had a return of that legend, <b>Alan Graham</b>. At
95 still an energetic and wonderful vibraphone player. I just wish I knew (and
had been taking) what he has been taking this last few decades!!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">He was helped along for a few tunes by saxophonist <b>Duncan

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Last week we had another surprise, as we had expected
Nick Mills to be joined by trumpeter Ed Benstead. However, in place of Ed, at
the last minute Nick had brought along saxophonist “Tolly” (Anatolly
Vyacheslavov!) whom we hadn’t seem at Hedsor for a year or so due to his other music
commitments. A delightful swinging evening was had by all, my photos are below</p>

become somewhat complicated.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>If you have yet to reach the age of “retired” then take
my advice. Pencil in days for being “off”. DO not commit yourselves to too many
voluntary, even pleasurable, events, because it becomes important to have time
for you, sometime the unexpected you! "It could happen to you"!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>Coming to <b>Hedsor this week (Thursday October 12th)</b> we
have “our” <b>Mike Wills</b>, who at one time came every week, as a complete saxophone
section in his own right. He will be accompanied on trumpet by someone who was
with us LAST week, “our” <b>Lester Brown</b>. Perhaps we will have some new
arrangements of old tunes, or perhaps some old arrangements of some new tunes?
But to be assured, an excellent night of swinging jazz will be yours for your

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>Last Friday a number of folks seen at Hedsor Jazz were to
be seen at The Progress Theatre in Reading. Stuart Henderson was alongside saxophonist
Karen Sharp, with Leon Greening on piano. It was a lovely evening of modern
jazz. We will have both Stuart and Karen with us at Hedsor on November 23<sup>rd</sup>
with Ken McCarthy on keyboard. The Progress Theatre was full, lets hope the
same will be said of Hedsor Jazz in November.</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>Talking of things later this year, on December 15<sup>th</sup>
(a Friday) there will be an evening of Christmas themed jazz at Maidenheads
United Reformed Church. You will see many familiar faces at that event, so put

week has “our” Lester Brown on brass (!) and Alam Nathoo on tenor sax, a
combination that was forged last month alongside Alan Barnes. That was so good
we are repeating it but sadly WITHOUT Alan!</span></p>

supporting those two at the front we will have Ken McCarthy on keyboard, Al Pirrie

weeks session had the lone front line of Ian Smith on trumpet. Yes, he did
recite the lyrics into the microphone, especially when reminded to do so. He had been a </span><span style="font-size: medium;">friend</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> of the late Michael Gambon, and told us one or two </span><span style="font-size: medium;">amusing</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> stories about that great actor, who died last week. </span><span style="font-size: medium;">https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002091/ </span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Sadly
Ian and the trio were playing to the smallest audience we have had at Hedsor for a long time.
Obviously it was a collusion for everyone to go on holiday at the same time! Almost as
rare as a total eclipse!! </span><span style="font-family: Tahoma, "sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Those
who were there enjoyed the evening, as did that lonely trumpet player at the

Saturday 3 or 4 of the frequent Hedsor faces did manage to get to the Wooburn
Festival Jazz Supper and had an excellent evening led by Claire Martin and Jim
Mullen. The first half was good, but the second half, after an excellent light
repast, was very good. Not only had the audience relaxed, but so had Claire,
who seemed more herself and communicated to the audience with her obvious love
for the music. A quite impromptu encore finished the evening. Claire came on stage
to collect her microphone, which the audience thought meant an encore. However
the band had started to clear up, and when Claire realised that the audience would
LOVE a bit more, got the bass player to accompany her in one last song. Now

the opportunity to tell us more about the tunes he plays, and to play the
harmonies with our regular keyboard man <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ken

of a good time to be had by all, even the audience! </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">I will endeavour to nag Ian to use the microphone for his
talks about the tunes. He is after all a lecturer in English, and has travelled
the world to do so, so Hedsor should hear his words!</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">Our gig next week, the first gig of October, will have
that stunning young man on the saxophone <b>Alam
Nathoo</b>, alongside “our” <b>Lester Brown</b>
on trumpet. Lester may also be on another kind of horn as well, but you will
have to come to find out! That is <b>Thursday October 5<sup>th</sup></b>. <b>Mike Jeffries</b> will again be our drummer,
and <b>Ken McCarthy</b> our keyboard man!
Our bass player will be <b>Al Perrie</b>,
who comes all the way from Oxford.</p>

<p>IF you get the itch for jazz on October 3<sup>rd</sup>, a Tuesday, you could
do worse than try The Bourne End Community Centre. <b>Paul Hurley</b> has asked me to mention that Mike is performing there
as well.</p>
<p><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Jazz in the bar at Bourne End Community Centre</span></b></p>
<p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Tuesday October 3rd with Mike Jeffries band <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">"In the Pocket"</b> featuring Mike Wills on sax, Jez Cooke

<p><span style="color: #cc0000;">Music starts 8 pm Entrance £8. Bourne End Community Centre, Wakeman Road SL8
5SX, Free parking after 7pm.</span></p>
<p>One thing I mustn’t forget to mention and that is the <b>closure of Cookham Bridge from October 16<sup>th</sup>.</b> This will
be a complete closure for a minimum period of 20 weeks. Do also be aware that the road leading to the
bridge will be closed <b>during the day</b>
on some days before hand!</p>
<p><br /></p><p>My pictures of last weeks <b>Hedsor Jazz</b> are below. It was a great session with
<b>Stuart Henderson</b> alongside<b> Jonathan Lewis</b>, with <b>Ken McCarthy, Mike Jeffries and Peter Hughes</b>.
Interesting tunes, well scripted, and very well played.</p>

September 2023</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">No, not all about, but mostly about. </span><span style="text-align: left;">I have been writing
about jazz in this blog for almost 20 years, and it does largely concern itself
with jazz at the Hedsor Bar, but it has never been exclusive. However, if you
want to keep abreast of what is happening jazz wise at Hedsor, it’s a good
place to start!</span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">We are entering into the period of Autumn, and some of
what has been advertised will not be what will happen, changes happen! “Everything
Must Change” is a great song*, but sadly it is true. I will try and keep you
informed of all Hedsor Jazz week by week, and do rest assured we do want to
maintain the quality product of the jazz at the Hedsor Bar that we have all
become used to, so watch this space, and share with others who might be
interested in experiencing what we offer. </p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">This <b>Thursday September 21<sup>st</sup> at Hedsor Jazz</b> we
have <b>Stuart Henderson</b> on trumpet alongside <b>Jonathan Lewis</b> on tenor sax, all

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><o:p> </o:p>Last week (pictures below) we also had Stuart Henderson,
but alongside trombonist Nick Mills. They were backed by Nigel Fox on keyboard, Peter Hughes on bass, and Mike Jeffries on drums.</p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">A great evening of very brassy jazz was
had by all, including tunes like “This I Dig of You” and “Flamingo”. Now who
will admit to knowing THAT?</p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing">As you may remember Hedsor Jazz are now getting advice
and ideas from our new Vice President, Vasilis Xenopoulos, and it has proven to
be very valuable. Some of his insights are going to help us in keeping Hedsor
Jazz on track in these changing times. More on that in the future, so do keep
your eyes pealed on <a href="http://jazzfromgeoff.blogspot.com/">Jazz from
Geoff</a> !</p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing">PS. He still thinks we are mad running live jazz every week in an "out of the way" place like Hedsor!! But
it does make it very special.</p>
