TONY PITT\u2019S ALL STARS<\/b> \u2018blew everybody minds\u2019 here at Farnborough Jazz Club<\/b> on 18th <\/sup>October 2013<\/b>.\u00a0 TONY<\/b> (banjo) obtained those brilliant stars, DENNY ILETT<\/b> on trumpet, ADRIAN COX<\/b> on clarinet, DAVE HEWITT<\/b> on trombone, PETE \u2018Dave\u2019 BAKER<\/b> on double bass and JOHN ELLMER<\/b> on drums.\u00a0 Howzat! \u00a0I said last week that we were definitely in for an exciting evening of jazz.\u00a0 What an understatement!\u00a0 I have to tell you they were so much more than brilliant, well Ken in the audience said to me, and I quote \u201cThere is only one word for it, matchless!\u00a0 Then he said\u201d unbelievable\u201d, that\u2019s two words Ken. \u00a0Tony chose to put this line-up together for the first time and pretty amazing they were.\u00a0 I will not decry the previous bands or line-ups, but together were certainly among the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me.\u00a0 Those of you who witnessing the evening, please post your comments on our website. \u00a0It would show my darling Keith (who is a Luddite) that you ARE<\/b> reading these newsletters.\u00a0 Hmmm, are you?\u00a0 Just in case you are reading this, let me remind you of some of the numbers played.\u00a0 They started the evening with that rip-roaring number called \u2018Jazz Me Blues\u2019.\u00a0 Not sure why it should have been called a blues, it is such a happy number. \u00a0\u2018Original Dixieland One Step\u2019 had brilliant solos.\u00a0 First solo by Adrian was incredible, but then each in turn came Denny, Dave and then John (all incredible too), all backed by Pete and Tony \u2013 fantastic. \u00a0Denny sang the next number \u2018When Somebody Thinks You\u2019re Wonderful\u2019 loved by plenty of dancers.\u00a0 Adrian sang the next couple of songs \u2018Nobody Loves You When You\u2019re Down and Out\u2019 and \u2018The Curse of the Aching Heart\u2019 (nearly fainted dancing to it \u2013 hmmm getting old – who said that!).\u00a0 \u2018Panama Rag\u2019 was another amazing number (I didn\u2019t want them to stop playing it), followed by another old standard called \u2018When You and I were young Maggie\u2019. \u00a0I managed to film next couple of numbers.\u00a0 The filming is very dark (club atmosphere) and the music is never as good as being there \u2018live\u2019, but still great for a memory boost.\u00a0 First number captured was \u2018Shimmy Like my Sister Kate\u2019, sung by Adrian. Then \u2018Bad Penny Blues\u2019 featured Denny on trumpet, he also sang, plus played mouth piece only, what a talent. Then came \u2018Blue Turning Grey Over You\u2019, \u2018South Rampart Street Parade\u2019 and \u2018When the Saints Go Marching In\u2019.\u00a0 There was plenty of dancing throughout the evening and that says it all, so don\u2019t be shy if you want to join us and enjoy yourselves, it doesn\u2019t matter how well or badly you can dance, we don\u2019t watch you, were too busy dancing ourselves.\u00a0 Of course all are welcome, don\u2019t stay lonely at home, we have such fun.<\/p>\n

Keep jazz \u2018live\u2019 in Farnborough!<\/p>\n

Diane and Keith<\/p>\n
