It’s Tuesday again, and we are back to writing a blog on a Tuesday morning. It wont last, as I’m off out at 10.15am for a meeting and it is currently 9.35am!

But a start has to be made BECAUSE we have a super evening lined up for you This Thursday April 7^th.

We have managed to book at long last that superb singer Sarah Moule (About | Sarah Moule) so click the link and have a read.

Not only do we have Sarah coming to Hedsor Jazz, but that lovely melodic saxophone player Duncan Lamont Jr. is coming to.  Always a favourite at Hedsor, Duncan will be making his 3^rd visit to Hedsor this year.  This will be a night of very special vocal jazz, so do book your taxi now.

Last week was pretty good too wasn’t it? We have had both Al Nicholls and Max Brittain before, both singly and together, but last week was the best I had heard each of them play, a truly remarkable evening. It was further enhanced in the second set by a surprise guest appearance of singer Paul Cherrie. As I said, unadvertisable Magic!

My photos are below, but perhaps you missed it? Hedsor Jazz puts on real, vibrant, improvised JAZZ, and in order not to miss some occasional magic, you have to be there. Yes, I know, it isn’t always magic, sometimes it is just plain good, but please, don’t think that the TV will be a better bet on the night when you know you should really travel to Hedsor, because the TV wont give you the lift of live music and friendly conversation (during the interval of course) that Hedsor Jazz can give AND Hedsor Jazz is EVERY THURSDAY. So jazz and conversation is their at Hedsor every week.

 

We are still trying to pin down a suitable night to bring you a fundraising night of jazz to raise money for Ukraine. It will happen and you will hear about it first from this blog (unless YOU are booked to play it! Then you will know before ME!).

One of our regular Hedsor Jazz characters who has been missing now for a few Thursdays is Michael Weinblatt. He is suffering from an infection that isn’t responding nicely to antibiotics and has been in pain for some weeks now, (as well as being in and out of Stoke Mandeville hospital). He is a talented artist, saxophonist, jazz expert, and we have all missed his helpful presence. So “Sir” Michael, just get better will you.

I got back to finishing the text for this blog after getting involved with a “Laptops for Ukrainian Refugees” meeting. It is now 2.10pm.

The fact that I can refurbish old PC’s for charitable causes has been discovered! And I thought I was busy before. No seriously folks, if you have a laptop that you no longer use, but will work, do consider donating it. The Ukrainian refugees have often had to flee with none of their electronic devices, very often needed for their children’s schooling. I have been helping Ghana teach their children using discarded UK PC stuff for over 10 years now, so please consider what you do with your old potential land fill! The Ukrainian needs are being addressed by a well know local Oxfam fundraiser with whom I am in touch.

So for now let me say...tatarfernah  or TTFN for short. Yes, it was ITMA!
