\u2018BOB DWYER\u2019S BIX & PIECES\u2019 <\/b>played for us on <\/span>Friday, 1st<\/sup> November 2013 <\/b>here at<\/span> <\/b>our <\/span>FARNBOROUGH JAZZ CLUB<\/b>.\u00a0 Band members with trombonist<\/span> BOB<\/b> were <\/span>MAX EMMONS<\/b> on trumpet, <\/span>BERNIE HOLDEN<\/b> on clarinet, <\/span>HUGH CROZIER <\/b>on piano, <\/span>JOHN BAYNE<\/b> on double bass\/bass sax, <\/span>JOHN STUART <\/b>on banjo, plus <\/span>GRAHAM COLLICOTT<\/b> on drums.\u00a0 Before I look at my notes, I must mention my favourite number of the evening!\u00a0 It was a song from Irvin Berlin\u2019s film \u2018Carefree\u2019 staring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers\u2019.\u00a0 You\u2019ve guested it, \u2018Change Partners and Dance with Me\u2019.\u00a0 I remember there were plenty of dancers on the floor.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t have a partner and I couldn\u2019t help it, I found myself dancing around the outskirts of the dance floor and over to Keith at the bar, you know, how one does in your own home, when you are completely on your own!\u00a0 It was such a lovely old favourite song, one that you have to dance to (sorry folks, I\u2019m such an ol\u2019 romantic!).\u00a0 The other memory was of John Bayne playing bass sax, which I call \u2018Big Bertha\u2019 \u2013 anyone else refer to that instrument with this name?\u00a0 Maybe I got that name from someone else, I can\u2019t remember! \u00a0Well John, it has a wonderful rich sound and makes the hairs on my arms come up.\u00a0 Now back to my notes – \u2018Piove (Ciano, Ciano Bambina)\u2019, (translated \u2018Chow, Chow Bambino\u2019) was sung by Bob, with some audience participation, as one would expect.\u00a0 It was followed with \u2018Minnie the Moocher\u2019 and \u2018Careless Love\u2019.\u00a0 John (B) played big Bertha (bass sax) in both songs, fantastic.\u00a0 Then came a good old favourite \u2018Hiawatha Rag\u2019 and there was plenty of dancing going on.\u00a0 John (B) had a feature song with \u2018China Boy\u2019.\u00a0 What a splendid piece of playing from him, he is marvellous.\u00a0 Hugh sang the next one, \u2018Puttin on the Ritz\u2019 (from the musical of the same name).\u00a0 Would you believe it, Keith danced this one with me, he really can dance well, being a drummer (rhythm, legs, etc.).\u00a0 The next song featured Hugh on piano with \u2018The Naked Dancers\u2019 (also known as Hootchy-Kootchy Dance) and was introduced with such a story, because of the subject.\u00a0 We were asked if any of us ladies in the audience wanted to join in.\u00a0 Len offered our services, but Colin called out \u2018No please, thank you very much\u2019.\u00a0 Then Sandy (she\u2019s such a sport) climbed up on a table and pretended to take part, much to everyone\u2019s delight & laughter \u2013 well done Sandy.\u00a0 Hugh then sung his party piece \u2018Caldonia\u2019.\u00a0 He has a great voice and certainly can play those ivories.\u00a0 Well, once again a fun-filled happy evening of jazz.<\/span><\/p>\n

They certainly did keep smiles on our faces.<\/p>\n
