\u2018MAHOGANY HALL STOMPERS<\/b>\u2019 appeared at our Farnborough Jazz Club<\/b> on Friday, 28th<\/sup> February 2014<\/b>. \u00a0Band leader & trumpeter Brian Giles<\/b> was joined by Tim Huskisson<\/b> on clarinet\/sax (yes he was with us last Friday on piano, that\u2019s how talented he is).\u00a0 Also Rex Odell<\/b> on trombone, \u2018Southend Bob\u2019<\/b> Albutt<\/b> on banjo, Eddie Johnson <\/b>on double bass and last, but not least, was Barry Tyler<\/b> on drums (haven\u2019t seen you in years Barry).\u00a0 Last week, I asked all you audience makers, to please make sure you didn\u2019t miss it, so you could dance away an odd pound or two in weight BEFORE <\/b>the Easter egg(s) cometh! Some of you heeded, so thanks for helping to produce a lovely happy atmosphere.\u00a0 Anyhow, these were some of the numbers the band played just to give you a little in-site of the enjoyable evening we had.\u00a0 They began the evening with \u2018How Do You Do Me Like You Do, Do, Do\u2019, which was sung by Bob.\u00a0 What a great voice he has.\u00a0 This was followed with such a beautiful song called \u2018Tangerine\u2019, one amongst some of my many best loved favourites), beautifully sung by Rex.\u00a0 The next song has been featured on TV recently, advertising Volkswagen cars (with the tall beautiful girl wanting a tall guy – one gets out of a small car).\u00a0 The song \u2018It\u2019s Just Like Looking for a Needle in a Haystack\u2019 sung by Bob, comes from the Fred Astaire\/Ginger Rogers film called \u2018The Gay Divorcee\u2019.\u00a0 He followed up with some scat vocalising to \u2018Cushion Feet Stomp\u2019 (I jotted down \u2018some lovely trombone sounds\u2019). \u00a0Bob\u2019s famous party-piece is that number called \u2018I Wanna Be A Dog\u2019.\u00a0 It is an extremely funny song written by children\u2019s author, Barry Louis Polisar.\u00a0 Bob has re-vamped it, and his voice really does it justice too. \u00a0The next number I noted was \u2018When You\u2019re Smiling\u2019, with Brian\u2019s lovely trumpet and Rex giving a brilliant imitation of Louis Armstrong, (including the hanky).\u00a0 Of course we all joined in with him (well not like Louis).\u00a0 I remember him giving out a laugh and said \u201cOh, I think I sounded more like Tommy Cooper there, ha\u201d.\u00a0 Now the next number to mention was \u2018You Meet the Nicest People in Your Dreams\u2019, which was also sung by Rex.\u00a0 It is a much loved song here in our club, which was often played by one of our favorite bands, namely Phil Mason\u2019s New Orleans All Stars (we miss you Phil).\u00a0 Of course again we joined in with Rex too.\u00a0 (I quite like the fact that this song was co-written by A Goodhart – I know, I\u2019m sloppy). \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Bob sang the next number \u2018I\u2019ve Got a Feeling I\u2019m Falling\u2019, which showed off his very rich baritone sound.\u00a0 The band rounded off the evening with that gorgeous Louis Armstrong number called \u2018What a Wonderful World\u2019.\u00a0 Of course, Rex did the business again (it must be quite rough on the vocal cords though \u2013 well done Rex).\u00a0 Thanks to the boys in the band, for a lovely evening.<\/p>\n
