Bill Phelan’s Muskrat Ramblers, 3rd October 2014

BILL PHELAN’S MUSKRAT RAMBLERS’ provided our entertainment at FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB on Friday, 3rd October 2014. The musicians with band leader BILL PHELAN (trumpet & flugabone) were ALAN CRESSWELL (clarinet), JOHN HOWLETT (trombone), ANDY LAWRENCE (double bass), JOHNNY MCCALLUM (banjo), plus PAUL NORMAN (drums).

This happy band has been a big favourite with you on previous appearances and once again, they maintained that popularity contest. Lovely to see the party of ten new people arrive, brought by a couple who visited us a few weeks ago. We’d love to see you again, you are great dancers. The band usually starts off with their signature tune, but for a change, they decided to play ‘Royal Garden Blues’, an equally happy number. The next number I wish to mention is ‘See See (or CC) Rider’. It was the number to bring out plenty of dancers. ‘Bugle Boy March’ followed on and was another great tune to dance to.

Alan was featured next, playing his wonderful rendition of ‘Petite Fleur’, what a player. They finished the first section with a brilliant performance of ‘Hiawatha Rag’. I was glad they chose to do ‘Ciribiribin’ again, (see my notes about their gig with us on 15 November 2013), because they do play it with great feeling and what about ‘Bourbon Street Parade’! It was sung by Johnny and is such a grand number, bringing smiles to everyone’s faces. A must to mention is Bill’s feature on flugabone, namely ‘Star Dust’, so melodic. Bill plays it how it should be done, beautifully (sorry not to have a picture of him too).  It is so difficult to decide to cut out numbers that have been played so well, but my last choice is ‘Canal Street Blues’. I’m sure they were playing over time, we were all enjoying ourselves I didn’t notice the time and no-one wants to end a happy evening. The number is such a jaunty one, we were all up dancing, so ending on a high.

Thanks again guys for entertaining us.

Next Friday’s band is Les Hanscomb’s Tailgate Jazz Band, so see you all then.

Trad jazz – always fun – keep it ‘Live’.

P.S. ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ is back and although enjoyable, it is still irritating to hear them play pop music for Latin American dances. How do they expect the stars to learn to dance and put the oomph into a dance with the wrong rhythm or even the tempo! Please organisers, you obviously tell the band to play pop, you’ve got it wrong. Also, can you show your audience how to clap ‘OFF THE BEAT’? Now I know how irritating I was to band leader, Jeff Hatton, who many years ago, taught me how to clap ‘off the beat’. (There, I’ve got that off my chest!)

Mike Barry’s XXL Jazz Band, 26th September 2014

MIKE BARRY’S XXL JAZZ BAND made our audience really pleased to be here at our Farnborough Jazz Club in Kent on Friday, 26th September 2014. Leader and trumpeter Mike’s band consisted of reeds player GOFF DUBBER, trombonist REX O’DELL, banjo & guitarist JOHN STUART, double bassist ROGER CURPHEY and drummer PAUL BUDD. It was lovely to see them all again.

To start with, there was plenty of laughing coming from the band BEFORE you (our audience) all arrived, always a good sign they will enjoy entertaining you. They chose a great number to begin with, being (amongst many top stars) Johnnie Ray’s big hit ‘Alexander’s Ragtime Band’. Rex, who has a super voice, sang it and of course lots of us joined in, knowing most of the words. ‘Beale Street Mama’ had a couple of superb solos, one from John on guitar, plus Roger on double bass. Continuing with my next choice, which was ‘When The Midnight Choo Choo Leaves For Alabam’. This was also sung by Rex, to which several of us chose to do our line-dance. I’m not sure if our bands enjoy us doing it, nor our audience, but we enjoy do the dancing – ha! Next number Mike Witt (who took this super photo) emailed to me, and I quote “It was good to hear Mike Barry’s vocal rendition of “Marching through Georgia”, which is often played by bands of all types, from military through to Trad jazz but which is rarely sung. It commemorates General Sherman’s troops’ epic march through the US state of Georgia during the American Civil War, during which the city of Atlanta was burned”. He continued “Then followed civilian casualties and damage to property as Sherman’s men foraged the local land for food and supplies. Perhaps that’s why it is not often sung publicly, especially in the American south where even whistling the tune can result in a punch-up. Resentment still burns hot there!” Quite a statement, that I had to include it in this newsletter. Mike (B) sang it, with the rest of the band ‘Ahh, Ahhing’ along too. Plenty of dancers out for this one.  After a break, they continued with an old favourite of trad jazz lovers, ‘Dr Jazz’, sung by Goff. It’s amazing how many talented jazz singing musicians there are within the Trad’ world. John took to the guitar for ‘Brown Skin Girls’, again plenty of dancers. Obviously, ‘Ice Cream’ is another bigtime favourite. What they did with their rendition, was to interject with that tune ‘Good Morning’ (from the film ‘Singing In The Rain’) – fabulous. I recall Paul giving a terrific drum solo. Then came a brilliant situation of the evening, when they played overtime on the first section, which was fine. But when they began to do the same with their second break, I called out (so we could do the raffle draw). However, Mike called back “what’s up, we have another three hours to go!” So when it came to the end of the evening and it was all over, I took the ‘mike’ and said “hey, you have another couple of hours to go!” (Then to the audience) “You all witnessed Mike saying they had three hours to do”. It’s marvellous that a band enjoys themselves, so much they do not want to end – just as much as we love listening to their wonderful talent.

Roger Marks, Chris Walker & The Pedigree Jazzband with their ‘Tribute to Trad’, 19th September 2014

ROGER MARKS & CHRIS WALKER’s ‘Tribute to Trad Jazz’ with THE PEDIGREE JAZZBAND made Farnborough Jazz Club (Kent) part of their tour to our part of the world on Friday, 19th September 2014. The musicians were, of course, (co-leader) ROGER MARKS on trombone and (co-leader) CHRIS WALKER on clarinet. Graham Trevarton, their usual trumpeter was unable to make it to us. However, ANDY DICKINS was a guest on trumpet & vocals. The rest of the band were ok and was KEN AMES on banjo, TONY MANN on double bass and COLIN LARN on drums.

I said last week, this promises to be a highly entertaining evening and it certainly was. Roger has played for us before, with his Armada Jazz Band and was very popular with you all, as too with Andy Dickins (remember he, Julian Marc Stringle and Dave Hewitt knelt down and played to my little 4½yr old granddaughter, who was dancing to ‘Fidgety Feet’ (see www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIZGXLVs7fM) whilst with Dave’s Condonians back in 2010 (although has played for us many times since). However, it was the first time for Chris and the Marston’s Pedigree Jazzband from the West Country. If you click on the ‘band page’ at top of this website, you will find more information (from their own website http://pedigreejazzband.co.uk ), showing how they arrived at their idea for this show, plus see the band’s C.V’s too. Also, you can see them in action on a video taken at Risley Park Jazz Club, Risley, Derbyshire (curtesy of Apple County) on www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTMNu8aQOKs.

They chose some pretty famous songs, so once again I have found it very difficult to decide what numbers to include in my write-up, not wanting to leave great numbers out, but here goes. I shall start with ‘Chimes Blues’, which was performed perfectly (the bells I mean) and thoroughly enjoyable. It is a number performed by many bands, but not always quite right (although I’m not complaining to those bands – that’s what’s lovely about ‘live’ jazz, with warts and all). Chris mentioned being a friend and fan of Monty Sunshine and so featured one of his hit numbers, ‘The Old Rugged Cross’. A wonderful old ‘trad’ number and certainly they did it ‘justice’. For the next number Ken changed from banjo to guitar and joined the front line for ‘That’s My Home’, also showing he has a good jazz voice too. Before everyone arrived, I enjoyed the ‘boys’ warming up, with a little practice of that classical number ‘Santa Lucia’ and even more pleasing to see them add it to their repertoire. We all know classical and jazz music is very much affiliated. Next Chris was featured playing ‘Summer Set’ and brilliantly too. It was a big hit for Acker Bilk. ‘Margie’ was sung by Roger and I recall he did a bit of scat vocals (I would describe as ‘Danny Kaye style’, terrific) and we (well, just four of us) did our little of line-dancing -Charleston style. Then Andy was featured. His intro to the number was so beautiful and then he gave such a lovely performance with ‘Georgia On My Mind’. I cannot leave out the next number made famous by Kenny Ball. They played it so well, just like Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen – and the number? Of course, ‘Midnight In Moscow’ Yeah! They completed their show with ‘Ice Cream’. A stupendous performance by all, but especially the ‘mind blowing’ drum solo from Colin – wow. I do hope you enjoyed playing for us as we in the audience enjoyed you. We wish you a great success in future tours. Before closing Chris and Roger, please could you send a big ‘thankyou’ from us, to the Marston’s Brewery, for donating some of their (must be wonderful) beer towards our raffle. It was very much appreciated. Keith & Diane xx

Sarah Spencer’s Transatlantic Jazz Band, 13 September 2014

Sarah Spencer Denmark 2008SARAH SPENCER’S TRANSATLANTIC JAZZ BAND made their annual appearance at our Farnborough Jazz Club, Kent on Friday, 12th September 2014. I said it all last year, but will repeat it. SARAH is a brilliant New Orleans tenor sax player, who must have a huge pair of lungs. What a strong performance she gives. Sarah moved to live in America some 16years ago. Since 2009, she has made an appearance at Farnborough during her annual tour back home. She has a wonderful dynamic personality and her playing certainly depicts this. Since the first time Sarah appeared with us back in our ‘Badgers Mount Jazz Club’ days in the 1980’s, she has played at The Purcell Rooms within London’s Festival Halls, plus world-wide festivals and of course, USA (www.sarah-spencer.com). STEVE GRAHAM was on trumpet, MIKE OWEN on trombone (he was here three weeks ago with ‘Baby’ Jules Jazzaholics), DEREK JONES on double bass (he, I think, experience his first visit here – poor thing!), ANDY MAYNARD on banjo and CHRIS MARCHANT on drums.  Last week I said “Sock it to them Sarah” and of course, she did just that.  I mentioned Sarah must have an enormous pair of lungs, well she also has a heart the size of a pumpkin, because she tries to please everyone, playing with all her heart and soul, which the whole band did.  They began the evening with ‘Smiles’ with the intention of putting smiles on all our faces, which obviously did. Next I noted down ‘Breeze’, being a nice, fairly slow romantic number for dancers. Mike, in particular, excelling with it. This was soon followed on by ‘C’est Magnifique’, keeping the dancing going. Then ‘Bouncing Around’ was absolutely wonderful, with the dance floor packed. Sarah sang the next number ‘Don’t You Feel My Legs’, certainly it showed an influence of living in New Orleans, what a great strong and controlled voice she has. This is quite a fun naughty number (remember Christine Tyrell singing it here? I know Keith would recall, ha). The next number I noted, was ‘Should I (Reveal Exactly How I Feel)’ and such a brilliant rip roaring performance was given by everyone. Sarah then dedicated the next tune to her boyfriend, George as he was unable to come. It was called ‘I’m Alone Because I Love You’ – lovely George. Mike sang the next song, (one of Judy Garland’s) ‘Under the Bamboo Tree’, he’s another musician with a terrific voice. Next number was performed with such a ‘wow’ factor and as I was dancing, have no note of what it was called – sorry. I mention this because it always shows that they are enjoying themselves too. Anyway, their last number which was played way after time and was called ‘Silver Bells’. Sarah, you are a star with a big love of your music, play on.  [Video of the band when they appeared here in 2013 can b found on Youtube as follows: http://youtu.be/PuC4eKvV1Bk]

Thank goodness for ‘live’ music

‘MARTYN BROTHERS JAZZ BAND’ once again,were fabulous when they played for us on Friday, 5th September 2014, here at our Farnborough Jazz Club.  As mentioned before, co-leaders, Emile and Ben, are the sons of that wonderfully flamboyant drummer and band leader, Barry Martyn. Barry moved to New Orleans many years ago, so Emile and Ben were brought up there. BEN MARTYN plays double bass and EMILE MARTYN plays drums (both sing). They were joined by JULIAN WEBSTER GREAVES on sax, harmonica & vocals, JEFF WILLIAMS on trombone & vocals, JOHN ‘radio’ RUSCOE on guitar and HENRI HERBERT on piano (I said last week, Henri is an exciting boogie woogie player and is new to our club).  It was a brilliant evening with their unique style of jazz, combining certainly New Orleans, a little bit of 60’s and a little bit of ‘country’, very entertaining. One of our regular visitors, Mike Witt, took these wonderful photos, which shows just how they ‘delivered’ (shame the ‘band’ one misses Emile and Henri and only got Ben’s head, but thanks a mill’ Mike, for taking the photos). Oh again, how I wished we had filmed some of the evening. I have so much going on in my private life and if things were normal, we would have booked someone regularly to film for us. But there you go, disappointingly we haven’t.  So here’s how the evening went, although as usual, I’m finding it so difficult to pick out the numbers to tell you about, as all were good.  I have by-passed some great numbers (as they were played by other bands recently) and move forward to mention they played ‘Statesboro Blues’. Julian was on harmonica and also sang and what a number. Julian is another extremely talented musician. Henri was to feature next with ‘Sweet Lorraine’. I’m not sure how old he is (he seemed very unassuming), but boy, oh boy, can he play the ivories – he certainly has a voice there! ‘Pennies From Heaven’ followed next, with Jeff’s great singing, then Ben joined in singing in a high pitch. I’m sure he has been having lessons from his 10mth-old baby (Lorelai) great fun Ben. The number to come next was a rip roaring number ‘Oh Marie’, to which Emile lent his vocalisation to (yep, he also has a great voice).  The pièce de résistance was Julian playing sax, whilst moving all around the club, up on the table (see photo for evidence) and then sitting on Susan’ lap (sorry Susan, no photo), definitely one of the highlights of the evening.  See photos for evidence!!

Another popular song ‘St. Louis Blues’ lured the dancers out on the floor (I recall they mixed a bit of Glen Miller’s ‘Pennsylvania 6500’). Then before the dancers could return to their seats, with Ben singing, they played ‘You Never Can Tell (C’est La Vie)’ and so were lured back to dance some more. Would you believe it, the same happening with ‘Honest I do’. I’m sure you were all exhausted, but exhilarated.  Ben sang again – he has a marvellous voice and it is obvious from my description, the band played (without a break) as a marathon! What followed sounded like a big band when playing ‘Lester Leaps In’. Emile performed a marvellous drum solo (although I called out ‘Keep practising Emile’ – joking of course). Henri gave us a fabulous exhibition of his own composition ‘Henri’s Blues’ (see there’s where we needed to film), thank you Henri. [Since writing these words, I asked Ben what year did he write it and have just learnt Henri wrote it that evening – now that’s talent. We will have to have a copy of the song on our website, when he records it.]  ‘Folsom Prison Blues’ (surely chosen, being eleven years to the day of Johnny Cash’s death) came next. I danced with Gordon and am sure I lost a few pounds of fat. An explosive number. Julian played harmonica and sang next. His American lady friend came to hear the band, so they played this one, ‘Route 66’, to make her feel at home. I don’t think there are many people who dislikes hearing that number either, especially how they perform it. They began the second set with ‘The Sheik of Arabi’ sung by Ben. We chose to do our line dancing. Marie-Ann and Susan were doing something different to the rest of us and Ben asked me ‘aren’t you suppose to do the same thing’. I told him they were already on ‘the advanced course’, ha. Well, I was unable to choose any fewer numbers (sorry boys, to give too much away for your other gigs). What another ‘wow’ session. Cannot lose this club, can we.
