Just a short reminder that this week we don’t have any live jazz at The Hedsor Bar.

Our next live event is on Thursday March 12^th, when we have that amazing international saxophonist Vasilis Xenopoulos coming to Hedsor Jazz. 

Our usual start time of 8pm, and our usual entry fee of £12 (in cash) still applies. All of which is a lot better than going to see him at Ronnie Scott’s. Hedsor Jazz is less expensive and more convenient to get to, certainly from Cookham. 

At Hedsor you get all of the musical quality at a fraction of the cost. I will admit that you also get less of the glamour! But Hey, it saves you getting dressed to match Ronnie’s decor!

The pictures below are from our session last week with Lester Brown and Alam Nathoo. Another great combination of *talents.

 

Also last week we had the additional benefit of John Sergeant depping for Mike Jeffries on drums. He was using his light weight travelling drum set. A very clever design that is lighter to carry than a conventional drum kit, but which also collapses down almost into one box!

It was perhaps uncanny that for Alam’s feature last week he should choose Isfahan, from Duke Ellington’s Far East Suite. I think the town of Isfahan (in Iran) was bombed over the weekend in Trumps latest adventure. Back in the 1960’s it was included in Ellington’s US State Department’s sponsored tour of the Middle East.
