Our \u2018Kid\u2019 was on true form, with his jokes, great trombone playing and singing, he is top notch.<\/p>\n

But then they are all top notch. Not their first number, but they played \u2018Maybe It\u2019s Because I\u2019m a Londoner\u2019, <\/em>I\u2019m sure because it will be St. George\u2019s Day on Thursday). Bob sang it, plus I\u2019m not sure how, but believe me, George seemed to make his trombone sound like it had a cockney accent – ha!<\/p>\n

\u2018Perdido Street Blues\u2019<\/em> came next and what can anyone say about Denny, magnificent and \u2018WOW\u2019. Fabulous clarinet from Tim too (who was also fabulous on piano last week because he is another talented musician too!). George practiced his tonsils on \u2018A Kiss to Build a Dream on\u2019<\/em>, such a lovely song George.\u00a0 Then Bob, also with his super jazz voice, sang \u2018I Thank You<\/em> Mr Moon\u2019<\/em>. What followed on was so exciting, a Louis Armstrong number, \u2018Hotter Than That\u2019<\/em> (written by Louis\u2019 wife, Lil Hardin). They all played brilliantly, with obviously Denny excelling himself (it\u2019s a number I shall ask them to play again when they are next here \u2013 31st<\/sup> July). Then as if it couldn\u2019t get any better, Denny followed on with an amazing solo intro to \u2018Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans\u2019<\/em>.\u00a0 What a marvellous engine with John, \u00a0Bill and ‘Southend Bob’ too, with George singing.<\/p>\n

I was asked to request the next number of Bob\u2019s (having written some of his own versions to this Barry Louis Salisar number) \u2018I Wanna Be a Dog\u2019<\/em>. If you haven\u2019t heard it before, you will love it and laugh so much (belly laughs I mean). Now to complete my newsletter for this week, unfortunately, I only wrote notes about one other number because I was either dancing, or talking to new people. However, this last number \u2018Bad Penny Blues\u2019 <\/em>was chosen to do a line-dance to (the line is growing with each week now). Everyone played their socks off, Tim on piano (oh all of them,<\/p>\n

\"Brilliant<\/a>

but paying particular mention to Denny who performed a tremendous solo, playing just on his mouth piece. I know other trumpeters have done the same, but Denny \u2013 well he was mind-blowing, because the number is such a fast number and Denny didn\u2019t stop. I think you must realise that I think he is a little special? See how important it is to support \u2018live\u2019 jazz, if you weren\u2019t in the club this week, what a shame, because you missed so much! Oh well, be there next time aye! We wont be here for ever, so support us now!<\/p>\n
