Here is a newsletter about Dad’s, (Barry Martyn) last evening at Farnborough Jazz Club.<\/p>\n

Newsletter about 18th<\/sup>&25th<\/sup> February 2011<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Oh! My gosh!\u00a0 We are still reeling from Friday, 18th<\/sup> February 2011.\u00a0 We were treated to a wonderful performance by \u2018Barry Martyn and The Young Bloods\u2019, what an exciting set up.\u00a0 We had a huge turnout and understandably so.\u00a0 The band is so entertaining, extremely professional and hugely talented.\u00a0 How many \u2018traditional\u2019 jazz clubs would have expected the evening to blast off with a fiery rendition of Count Basie\u2019s \u2018Jumping\u2019 at the Woodside\u2019, fantastic!\u00a0 A few open mouths amongst the \u2018trad\u2019 buffs, but they were so soon treated to something more to their liking, with a superb solo from Frank Brooker on clarinet of \u2018High Society\u2019. \u00a0Frank was a guest star, performing top notch clarinet and sax with some mouth watering solos, exciting the whole audience.\u00a0 As the evening progressed, we were treated to great jazz in many styles, from \u2018Swing\u2019 to \u2018Dixieland\u2019 and \u2018Latin American\u2019, with even a bit of \u2018Country\u2019 from Graham Hughes on harmonica.\u00a0 We cannot speak more highly of \u2018The Young Bloods\u2019.\u00a0 Tom Kincaid\u2019s piano playing is beautiful, clever and mind blowing all in one!\u00a0 The same goes for trumpeter Alan Beechey (who also played the drums, whenever Barry sang – even though Barry can play and sing at the same time), trombonist Graham Hughes and double bass Ben Martyn (Barry\u2019s son).\u00a0\u00a0 Ben sung the number he wrote, \u2018My Heart is in New Orleans\u2019, which he dedicated to Paul Bonner.\u00a0 Ben got me to sing with the band, but I was caught off guard and (of course) couldn\u2019t remember a single word of the song – so embarrassing as I do know them, (sorry audience, I had lost my voice (much to Keith\u2019s delight) a couple of weeks ago with the dreaded lurgie and was a bit croaky) \u2013 \u2018la la la\u2019 is a great savour, isn\u2019t it!\u00a0 Barry sung numbers of Doris Day, Hoagie Carmichael and many more.\u00a0 Someone asked Barry what style of jazz do they play?\u00a0 He said \u201cWe play jazz man, just jazz\u201d!\u00a0 Their last number was \u2018When the Saints go Marching in\u2019, with the front line playing whilst walking around the whole audience and everyone (except possibly three), went home on an extreme high.\u00a0 Thank you so much Barry, for honouring us by playing at our little club.\u00a0 What is so upsetting is, as mentioned last week, this is Barry\u2019s last tour here in England, so it was the last time he will be seen\/heard at our Farnborough Jazz Club here in Kent.\u00a0 Keith and I believe our lovely audience gave the band, in return, a wonderful send off with their appreciation and dancing.<\/p>\n

If you wish to experience Barry again, you will have to travel to New Orleans.\u00a0 But wait a minute, we do have something up our sleeves, The Martyn Brothers\u2019 will be with us on 8th<\/sup> April 2011.\u00a0 This will be Barry\u2019s TWO sons & Co, as Emile is a drummer like his Dad.<\/p>\n

So lets see the return of a huge audience (\u2018cause we did let you go home, trusting you to return!)<\/p>\n

Live jazz (or any music) makes such a difference to how you face your next week.<\/p>\n
