Good morning jazz fans

THIS THURSDAY February 12^th is one of the live jazz at The Hedsor Bar Thursdays.

We told you that we would have the best of jazz for you, and we would bring it to you locally, and this week we cannot do better than have that great Scottish trumpet star Bruce Adams coming to play for us.

Bruce has been to us a number of times before and we do indeed welcome him back. He is both a superb and spectacular trumpeter and a great compare. If you are unsure of his credentials do check him out:- https://www.bruce-adams.co.uk/bio   and  https://open.spotify.com/artist/25MUxKLNEA1OBOyqBMMWgw

He has made dozens of recordings, one from my collection is illustrated below:-

 

He will be joined by guitarist Mark Ridout who has also been to Hedsor before back in 2024, but he maybe a less familiar name to you.

I’ll leave a link for you to copy and investigate. Its a long link but will lead you to 9 minutes of music from the 606 club!!

If you just turn up and pay your £12 at the door you wont be disappointed.

Behind both Bruce Adams and Mark Ridout we have pianist and musical director Ken McCarthy, with Al Pirrie on bass and Mike Jeffries on drums.

I would certainly not wish to denigrate that jazz club in London called “Ronnie Scott’s” where Bruce has played and recorded (as was the cd illustrated above), but at Hedsor Jazz you get the same people but with free car parking, £12 entry and club bar prices. That will mean you don’t have to save the same small bottle of booze to make it last the entire night (it probably would have cost you our entry fee in another place anyway). So come and enjoy a quality jazz night out in SL8 5ES.

 

Just a small warning for all who haven’t been out to us in the wilds of South Buckinghamshire before. There are very few street lights out here!!
