Good Morning England

A shortish blog today, but full of potential!!

First, in order for you to get to our now regular Thursday gigs at Hedsor Jazz YOU MUST check in each time with our booking agent Tracy  tracy.georgiades@gmail.com . This is to ensure we meet the covid 19 regulations regarding contact details AND numbers on the night at Hedsor Club. PLEASE NOTE that if you have to cancel on a night you have already booked for please tell Tracy, as we can then reallocate your empty seat. We are only allowed 30 people in to listen, and we do want to keep the numbers up. 

AND there is some splendid music coming up for you to listen to.

Last week Ian Smith and Ollie Wilby, were our named headliners. We also had pianist Martin Picket as a guest dep and they all provided some excellent timeless jazz (no, I mean timeless as in period, not as in they cant keep time!). Later in the week I will put up on DropBox my recording of the night.

For those of you who would like to watch a lot of the evening, our new attendee Alex puts out his private videos of the evening on YouTube, do take a look sometime via his links:-

Although we are still limited as to the numbers who can come in and watch and listen AT Hedsor Club, AND you do have to be covid aware to be there we do have a plan for the month ahead. There are some really exciting gigs coming up, so make a note, put it in your diary, and tell Tracy your coming!

Slowly but surely we are adding musicians to the list of those who haven’t played Hedsor before, and we will continue to do so. On June 24th trombonist Mike Innes is that person. It should be a cracking evening.

Our plan is (when the covid restrictions are relaxed) to have one named (star?) musician every quarter, but never fear, all those who come to pay for us are well worth turning out for. Sometimes one particular musician plays something beyond expectation, and then even the rest of the band can be heard applauding. Its JAZZ, It’s improvised, albeit within a structure, but the guys and girls we get to Hedsor Jazz are well versed in the rules of the game, and occasionally magic happens.

Dont miss it!
