CHEZ CHESTERMAN\u2019S BAND OF BROTHERS<\/b> appeared at Farnborough Jazz Club, Kent<\/b> on Friday, 4th<\/sup> October 2013<\/b>.\u00a0 Trumpeter CHEZ<\/b>, was joined by JOHN CROCKER <\/b>(clarinet & sax), JOHN FINCH (<\/b>trombone), JIM DOUGLAS<\/b> (guitar), TERRY LEWIS<\/b> (double bass) and BILL FINCH<\/b> (drums). \u00a0\u00a0Last week, I said you cannot go wrong with great names such as these and I said to get your butts down here and enjoy a fabulous evening.\u00a0 I also said that If you know anything about jazz, you will know there will be plenty of top class entertainment in store for you to dance the night away and I was right, so let me tell you how it went.\u00a0 The first number I noted was \u2018High Society\u2019.\u00a0 I adore that number and of course the film.\u00a0 It is just such a happy number. Then came \u2018Heart of My Heart\u2019 (sung by Chez) and \u2018Breeze\u2019, a lovely old standard, but cannot find out who wrote it, so will return to update there.\u00a0 Chez also sang \u2018Dinah\u2019, with John C playing sax, oh what musician aye?\u00a0 The next number was a beautiful Acker Bilk oldie called \u2018Goodnight, Sweet Prince\u2019.\u00a0 John C was with Chris Barber\u2019s Band and when Acker guested with them, John and he would share the spot on clarinet.\u00a0 I must ask John if he did to this number, it isn\u2019t played that often – mores the pity (Chez tells me the Danish band \u2018Papa Bue\u2019s Viking Jazz Band\u2019 introduced it to England). \u00a0The next tune \u2018Down by the Riverside\u2019, was sung by our audience (with Chez joining in – seriously, of course it was the other way round).\u00a0 \u2018Weary Blues\u2019 is a brilliant up-tempo tune (not depicting its title) and was\/is marvellous to dance to.\u00a0 John F was featured with the next number \u2018I Can\u2019t Believe That You\u2019re in Love with me\u2019 and brilliantly too.\u00a0 The last number I noted was \u2018Careless Love\u2019.\u00a0 This was made famous by Buddy Bolden, played at a jaunty tempo, good for slower jiving to.\u00a0 To end this evening\u2019s write-up, I must talk about Terry Lewis.\u00a0 He was playing this evening, but we know him from way back before the club house was extended.\u00a0 Do any of you remember George Howden and his Hotshots appeared here, with three (one being Terry) of his six piece band? \u00a0The other three had gone to Farnborough in Hampshire!\u00a0 Realising they were in the wrong place, they turned around and made their way back to us in Kent.\u00a0 They walked in (about 9.45pm) to a huge cheer and stepped up without a break to play their hearts out, that\u2019s musicians for you.\u00a0 Lovely memories.<\/p>\n

Cheers,<\/p>\n

Diane and Keith<\/p>\n
