It was yet
again another occasion where it showed an affinity between musicians and
between musicians and audience. Something you don’t quite get in large concert
halls!
Coming this
week another really great session is in prospect with Saxophonist Al Nicholls
together with trombonist Simon Wyld. We will have with them Martin Hart on
drums, Peter Hughes on bass and Ken McCarthy on keyboard. Find that quality for
£7 anywhere else!
Last week I
mentioned the Stan Getz album “Getz at the Gate, and at that time I hadn’t had
time to listen to it properly. Now I have, and would recommend that you do too. I have discovered a superb
writup of it on line, so do look at
Sample of the tracks can be had at
So, until I see you ALL on Thursday
That’s it for now folks.
