(I wrote \u201cgreat trumpet, great muted trombone\u201d).\u00a0 The last thing I jotted down was John playing tenor sax, backed by Barry and Allan with the song \u2018S\u2019 Wonderful\u2019<\/em> and it was wonderful.\u00a0 What an incredibly enjoyable evening.\u00a0 Their next date with us 23rd<\/sup> May 2014, put it in your diaries.<\/p>\n
