Good Morning Readers and a happy St Georges Day to you all.

Jazz wise, today sees the reopening of Dawkes refurbished facility in Maidenhead.  

Dawkes is that renowned musical instrument shop specialising in all things blown. Have a look at https://www.dawkes.co.uk/

This reopening is being enhanced by “our” Hedsor Jazz Hon. Pres. Vasilis Xenopoulos, so I wish Dawkes and Vasilis all the very best for an enhanced future.

The future for Hedsor Jazz this week also contains Vasilis, as he is helping us on Thursday (25^th April) to celebrate Hedsor’s fallen angels, those past members of our club evenings who have gone to a bigger gig in the sky. So, there will be music from Vasilis and our trio, and some light bites to allow everyone to the share memories with your mouth full!

Last week I looked through some photos of my 70^th birthday celebrations in 2009 and I was amazed at how many people we can no longer be joined to in conversation.

 

So whilst we can, do come to Hedsor Jazz, and listen to modern jazz at its best, which at Hedsor is a real quality product.

Below is our cast list for May 2024

 

 

Feel free to copy and print. Do let others know so we can keep it all going, which we have been doing every week since 2002.

Last weeks session had “our” Lester Brown on trumpet and that wonderful saxophonist Frank Waldon on tenor sax. It was a really joyful session, with some really joyful playing which included some tunes by Duke Ellington.

Each week we start at 8pm and finish at 10.30pm, and each week I wonder how that time really just flies by.
