Hedsor Jazz

This week

Thursday November 23^rd has a very special Hedsor Jazz concert with two stars (not falling tool boxes!), in the shape of Karen Sharp on tenor sax and Stuart Henderson on trumpet. They will be supported by Nigel Fox on keyboard with Martin Hart on drums and a bass player as yet anonymous to me! 

Sadly Ken will miss this one as he has to attend to a funeral “up North” of a musician he has known since school days.

Karen Sharp has been to Hedsor Jazz a number of times before and is one of the best known saxophonists in the UK. Once part of the Humphrey Lyttleton Band she is in great demand, and we look forward to a wonderful evening of jazz. She has recently performed a number of gigs with Stuart, so we anticipate a swinging evening. Our usual entry fee of £10 will be extracted from you.

 

 

Last week we had a musician at Hedsor Jazz who hadn’t been to us before, and I’m glad to say that Mark Ridout wants to come again, because I want to see him again! He was alongside saxophonist Frank Walden, who has been before and will also come again, and the fact that they enjoyed the evening wasn’t lost on the audience. The joy of their playing together definitely spread to the audience. They played a mixture of jazz standards ("Lulu’s Back In Town") and some tunes less heard ("Chitlins Con Carne") and made the evening disappear too quickly.

A reminder that our start time will change in December to 8.00pm, so make sure your diary is marked up to ensure you don’t miss a drop of jazz!

Our Christmas Party night will be December 21^st and our first gig for 2024 will be on January 4^th. And at the moment we will retain our entry fee of just £10. So please ensure you too become an active supporter of the performing arts and become a Hedsor Jazz regular!
