Hedsor Jazz this week has the return of a Legend.

October 26^th will see Vibraphone player Alan Graham with us again, alongside saxophonist Duncan Lamont Jr.

Having now celebrated his 95^th birthday and being interviewed at Hedsor Jazz for a regional TV program, (now available on YouTube) he now returns to play some more vibrant (!) Jazz for us. Backing them will be Ken McCarthy on keyboard, Ester Ng on bass and Martin Hart on drums.

 

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

 

Next week, the first gig for November, (November 2^nd) we will have a return of guitarist James Fenn, so do make sure that your clocks have all gone backwards, and that if you are coming from Berkshire, you have crossed The Thames by any other bridge than Cookham! Cookham Bridge is closed and won’t reopen until March 22^nd, and I’m sure that date is published in hope!

 

For November our starting time will remain at 8.30pm, but from December onwards we are going to start all of our jazz evenings at Hedsor at 8.00pm. This change has come at the request of our audience and I do hope it won’t put off too many people. We did take a democratic paper vote of our audience and a large majority were for this change. Our usual 2 hours of music will be provided and our entry fee will remain at just £10.

Don’t forget to tell your friends, both about Hedsor Jazz and about the quality of its product!
