Jazz at The Hedsor Bar is BACK

Yes, this Thursday January 15^th live jazz is back at Hedsor.

Just to remind you we have Frank Walden and James Fenn coming to play, alongside, Ken McCarthy, Al Pirrie, and Mike Jeffries. We’ve heard them before, so we know what’s coming—and it’s going to be special.

Here is a reminder of who they are: 

Frank Walden is a tenor saxophonist based in London and he performs regularly at Ronnie Scott's, the 606 Jazz Club and the Jazz Café.  Frank Walden is also known for Amy Winehouse: "I Told You I Was Trouble (Live in London) (2007)" as he was part of her backing band.

James Fenn is a guitarist and plays cool jazz guitar and together they make up part of “The Filthy Six” with an EP ‘Soho Filth, Live from Dean St Studios and Ronnie Scott’s' out now.

Ken McCarthy – is our regular keyboard man at Hedsor Jazz and is a very experienced musician with a long successful musical career.  From Amsterdam he toured Europe and Japan with visiting American Jazz stars. Then followed a career in TV, recording and orchestral work. He has always had a keen interest in "classical music"   As a musical director and arranger his credits include: "Bubbling Brown Sugar" , "42 Street" , "Barnum" and "Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat”.  And he was accompanist and director for Dame Vera Lynn.

Al Pirrie - is a versatile bass player with years of experience playing bass around Oxfordshire. Al's bass lines ooze groove and emotion, whether playing swinging jazz on the double bass or syncopated funk drops on the electric version.

Mike Jeffries – our drummer is a veteran of London’s jazz scene, Mike has played with leading UK jazz musicians and leads his own funky jazz band In the Pocket. AND he’s the man to see if YOU want to play at Hedsor Jazz!

The above information about the players is courtesy of Tracy Georgiades. If you would like information like that in your inbox before each performance at Hedsor do give Tracy your email address.

Just to give you a visual reminder of who this weeks players are here are a couple of photo from last year.

If you are happy to know in advance who is coming to Hedsor in the next couple of months do look at (and print) the poster art below.

 

If you enjoy our jazz presentations at Hedsor do tell others. Putting up our poster somewhere where people can see it will help.

In order to survive we need you to come out, (“Come Rain or Shine!”) and bringing friends would help secure a jazz music future.

So, here’s to a great jazz year.
