Coming This Week to Hedsor Jazz

 Duncan Lamont Jr on Reeds and Mike Innes on Trombone

 Accompanied by our Hedsor Jazz trio

 Which this week has a return of drummer Martin Hart who has had the audacity (no, not the sound software) of having taken a holiday!!

Duncan and Mike on their last visit to Hedsor

 

Last weeks session had the trumpet/sax combination of Lester Brown and Frank Walden, which was greatly enjoyed by our audience. Yes, it was the same combination of instruments as the week before, but hey, this is jazz, and the different players brought a different approach to, of course, different tunes. Over the weeks (and we do meet EVERY WEEK) we do often have similar instrumentation, but don’t be put off by that, as what happens in front of your ears is NEVER boring.

My never boring pictures from last week are below.

Last week also had some big band jazz in Cookham, and the Echoes of Swing Orchestra was playing Tuesday night in the Methodist Church. They raised over £400 for a charity helping children’s education in Africa. A common link to Hedsor Jazz is E of S bass player was “our” Peter Hughes!

Also notable in the trumpet section was musical impresario Toby Cruse, who next day posted a photo on Facebook showing him departing the UK again from an airport!

Sorry but I have no photos of their Big Band gig, I had buried my phone in a raincoat pocket, it was the night of a storm!!

Last weeks blog carried our poster art for October and November. Please copy, print and place in view of the general public. They may even come one day!

Last week also saw an email from Simon Lenton who has agreed to help maintain Marlow Jazz following on from the sad and sudden passing of Michael Eagleton.

Tuesday 22^nd October WILL see Bruce Adams and Alan Barnes together at Marlow. See poster below:-

That's about it from me for now. 

Keep in touch, there's a budget coming and you know governments love older people!
