IMPORTANT ALTERATION


For our Hedsor Jazz program for next Thursday we had hoped to celebrate with Alan Graham and his friends the fact that he has reached 94 years of age, MOST of them as a very well respected musician. 


Sadly at the moment Alan is not too well, and we are postponing (but not cancelling) this evening of celebration. Alan is still keen to do this, and at some point in the future we hope to “inject” this evening back into our program.

For this coming Thursday (October 14th) we have therefore had to rearrange our guest list, and at Lester Browns request, we have secured saxophonist Frank Walden. I think this will be Franks first visit to Hedsor Jazz so do turn out to welcome him to our slice of jazz heaven!


Back in the day when we started Hedsor Jazz we were sponsored by a lovely man called Ernie Evans. He paid for our fun from a bank account called “Jazz Heaven”! THAT is why some of you now subscribe to “Jazz Angels”!

Last weeks session with Sue Greenway and Mike Wills was lovely musically, great tunes, all associated with saxophonists, but our audience was a bit thin on the ground. Not too many people for the musicians to look at!! Yes, I do call my blog a nag, so that’s what I’m doing. No audience will mean ultimately no jazz. We have been running Hedsor Jazz every week now for over 20 years, it would be very sad to stop.

So, I look forward to seeing you ALL on Thursday for Lester Brown and Frank Walden with our regular rhythm trio, at our regular start time (8.30pm) and our regular entry charge (£10)

The alternative is Allbran!
