NEW ORLEANS Z’HULUS from Belgium on Tour, Friday 22nd May 2015

NEW ORLEANS Z’HULUS from Belgium included us as part of their UK Tour.  They appeared here at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB on Friday, 22nd May 2015As you can see, this band has a wonderful International flavour.  Trumpeter DAN VERCRUYSSE is from BELGIUM, clarinettist JESPER CAPION LARSEN is from DENMARK, trombonist PHILIPPE DE SMET, also fares from BELGIUM, pianist EMILE VAN PELT is from HOLLAND, double bassist BRIAN TURNOCK is English, but lives between U.K. and Belgium, plus, of course you all know drummer EMILE MARTYN, who is English and lives between U.K. and U.S.A.

It was this band’s first time with us.  It is nice to know bands from abroad love to give us a try, so we asked you to give them a huge warm Farnborough welcome please, which you did.  They played some super numbers and it was very hard to choose which ones to tell you about and what not to mention, but here goes ….. ‘Bogalusa Strut’ was, I think, their first number and what a lovely happy easy to dance to, jaunty number, played well too.  I made a note of ‘Give Me Your Telephone Number’, but had made no remarks here, because I was happily dancing and oh what a fast one, phew.  ‘Mama Inez’ was a gorgeous Latin American number – lovely jubbly.  Then just before their first break, they played the ‘Original Dixieland One Step’, always a favourite with everyone (I had put a couple of ticks as a must to mention).

Next came ‘Burgundy Street Blues’.  What a lovely ‘George Lewis’ number and featured John brilliantly. (tit-bit – Brian recorded with George Lewis).  Pianist, Emile P sang beautifully to ‘On a Coconut Island’ a lovely South-sea Island number.  Then Phillip sang ‘Show Me the Way to Go Home’, but instead of sending us home, the whole audience joined in singing, ha.

We certainly were not going home, with this super band and what came next, only woke us up more, because it was ‘Running Wild’ – with Emile on drums wow – and try dancing to that!  There was a couple of fantastic numbers between, but I had put three ticks AND an asterisk next to ‘Saint Philip Street Breakdown’, featuring John (oh! He certainly is worth featuring).  My last mention is for ‘Our Love Is Here to Stay’ and was sung by Emile VP, such a lovely number and what a band, thorough enjoyable – thanks boys.  Their website is:

Millennium Eagle Jazz Band, Friday, 15th May 2015

The MILLENNIUM EAGLE JAZZ BAND (from the Midlands) included us as part of their tour on FRIDAY, 15th MAY 2015 here at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB.  Their last gig in January 2013, was unfortunately cancelled due to the Country being snow-bound.  They have been coming to us for several years now, but with a gap, so it was great to welcome them back again.  The band  consists of PETER BROWN on trumpet, cornet, valve trombone & vocals, with MATT PALMER on clarinet, sax & vocals,   TERRY WILLIAMS on trombone & vocals, BRIAN LAWRENCE on double bass & sousaphone (not our ‘TOES’ Brian) and  JULYAN ‘BABY JOOLS’ ALDRIDGE on drums.   Chris Etherington was on holiday, so JIM DOUGLAS on guitar & banjo, took his place.  I promised that if it snowed on Friday, we would dig them ‘in’ – ha.  Seriously, we had a great time with them the previous times, but unfortunately, my computer was down during those years (newsletters temporarily lost).

To begin this newsletter, I want to relate the end of the evening first! (Well, you all know I’m strange).  However, my reason is because when they finished the evening, the audience kept yelling for “more” and the band obliged, playing on for a good 20minutes, or so, past time.  They chose some continuous ‘hot’ Glen Miller numbers and practically everyone in the club got on the dance floor. What an atmosphere!  Ok, now to return to the beginning of the evening!  My first number to tell you of, is called ‘Moose March’.  I had 3 ticks against it, which I had meant ‘brilliant’ – with great soprano sax by Matt.  Likewise against the next number, ‘Maple Leaf Rag’, giving mention to solos by Brian (sousaphone), Matt and Jim.  Then came ‘The Best Things in Life Are Free’, sung by Peter, with harmonising by Matt and Terry – wonderful singing too.

Matt had a feature number next with ‘In The Middle Of the Night’-just super.  We made the next number our line-dance, ‘After You’ve Gone’, which was played wonderfully.  ’Creole Love Call’ came next, played’ Duke Ellington style’ and encouraged our two visiting fabulous dancers on the floor, Linda and John (from Rochester area, we think).

Jim’s feature (backed by Brian) came next with ‘I’m Putting All My Eggs in One Basket’.  Plenty of applause there, of course.  Now the next number (another three ticks) was superb by all, namely Sidney Bechet’s ‘Coffee Grinder’, simply fabulous.  I must mention Terry and Peter’s (on valve trombone) fantastic duet with ‘T’Aint What You Do’, (Brian was great too).

But then they left the best till last – ‘Tiger Rag’ they all excelled (Brian was on sousaphone and Peter on trumpet and whistle) and oh! what a drum solo – fantastic ‘Babes’!  What more can one say – a simply brilliant evening and we all went home wanting more … and that’s what jazz is all about don’t you agree?

Signing off – your hosts,

They were here last year (19th September), with this special show, which gives little tit-bits of information about the music being played. It happened to be my son-in-law’s birthday, so my family all turned up. They loved the information given on intros to numbers, giving them so much insight into everything. I loved the first number, a Rossini one, but played based on the Dutch Swing College version of ‘William Tell’, a great start. There were some wonderful numbers in between, but will mention next their special tribute to much-loved Acker Bilk, who passed away 2nd November 2014 (and must surely be with that very special band in the sky).  The number was ‘Blaze Away’. [I remember singing a version of this number at our Saturday morning pictures at the ABC Plaza at Catford back in late 40’s!  What fun that was. I felt sorry for the man who had to open the doors to let us kids in – he had to quickly stand back against the wall behind the door – or be trampled upon – flattened – ha!]. Back to our jazz, Graham sang the next one, ‘Lord, Lord, Lord, You Sure Been Good to Me’.  Oh yes another great jazz voice and a number for the dancers, being a great tempo. Blow me, another great jazz voice, in the shape of Ken. He sung Tommy Dorsey’s ‘Tight Like That’ (another Louis Armstrong hit).   I wrote no comments about ‘Sukiyaki’, although it wasn’t necessary as I put three ticks against it – says it all, doesn’t it (except to mention Kenny Ball had a hit with it).  Next came ‘The Drunken Song (There’s a Tavern in the Town)’ traditional, but copyrighted by William H. Hill in 1883. It was sung by Rudy Valée in 1934. He couldn’t stop laughing during the first recording, so had to record it again. However, the laughing version became the hit. You can find both on YouTube. I think we performed our line-dance to the next one, a Judy Garland hit, ‘Easter Parade’.  Roger then featured with ‘Mack, the Knife’ (both Louis and Bobby Darin had hits with this one).  He was brilliant and of course backed by their sturdy ‘engine’. Another tribute to Acker came by way of Chris playing superbly to ‘Summer Set’. Then what a brilliant drum solo from Colin with ‘I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Ice Cream’ – whew, super and saw the evening completed in a fantastic way from all the lads (and audience of course).  Thanks you so much for a very entertaining evening.

Keep it up guys.

‘Bob Dwyer’s Bix & Pieces’, 1st May 2015

‘BOB DWYER’S BIX & PIECES’, those likely – oh no I mean lovely – lads were back to play for us again. Where? Here of course, at the Farnborough Jazz Club, Kent (BR6 7BA). When? Last Friday, 1st May 2015.  (click on photos for a larger and clearer view),

Chris comes from GOSPORT, Hampshire, where he is on the Committee of the Gosport Jazz Club. He is a wonderful pianist, very melodic and full of personality. He gave an explanation about my first choice of song and the fact that there are two tunes with almost the same name. One being ‘Panama Rag’, composed by Charles Seymour (1904), obviously a Ragtime and the one they played for us, ‘Panama’, by William Tyers (1911). We thoroughly enjoyed this one, although I am sure we would have enjoyed the other version anyway, because they were playing ‘hot’. Likewise with ‘St. Louis Blues’. Max sang, with John playing double bass and Bernie on alto sax. What an exciting rendition from all the band.  My next choice to tell you about was a completely different tune. It was a beautiful number sung by Bob, called ‘Spain’. I hope he doesn’t mind me saying, but he has a romantic voice, quite similar to the 1930-40’s sound and everyone loves it.

Nick was next on vocals with his good ol’ tradie voice to ‘Ace In The Hole’, with another one for us to all dance to. Oh they were on fire, because they followed on with Max’s great intro on harmonica to ‘Freight Train’. I can just see them now, all flat out, what a performance (sorry, you have to put up with me gushing again!). The next number got our line dance going, now quite regularly a dozen or so of us, all having fun! The number was ‘That DaDa Strain’ , with fabulous drums from Laurie and enjoyably they played every bit as good as Bob Crosby & The Bob Cats did.  Another wonderful number to enjoy (requested by Gordon), with John bringing out ‘Big Bertha’ (bass sax) and everyone giving us brilliant solos to ‘Weary Blues’. Calming down, let me lead you into the next number ‘Love Nest’. Bob’s gentle dulcet tones brought on a full house of our dancers to the floor. [Oh by the by, I found 1 and 1/2 hour free b&w romantic film on You Tube ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU-1D8p50h4) with Marilyn Monroe.]   Just two regular numbers they do for us left to mention, one being ‘Elephant Stomp’ with our superb John, playing ‘Big Bertha’ and everyone backing him to the hilt, what a unit. Oh yes, see below our video recording of him, recorded 27th October 2014.  Plus the last number, only played here, because composer Leslie was a huge friend of ours. The number being a Tommy Dorsey hit, ‘Nice To Know You Care’. [I have located more info about Leslie, showing his music was produced by Forsythe, Seaman & Farrell, plus Dorothy Squires, Diana Dors, Ann Shelton, Jack Watson & Tony Brent, Charlie Chester and Dick James.].  Bob’s next date here, being 10th July 2015.

Now I hope that has wet your appetites to come for some more jazz next Friday, for the Pedigree Jazz Band.
