MAHOGANY HALL STOMPERS<\/strong>\u2019 entertained us on Friday, 13th<\/sup> June 2014<\/strong> at the Farnborough Jazz Club<\/strong>. Band leader & trumpeter BRIAN GILES<\/strong> had booked BRIAN WHITE<\/strong> on clarinet, REX ODELL<\/strong> on trombone, FRED ETHERINGTON<\/strong> on banjo, EDDIE JOHNSON <\/strong>on double bass and completing the engine was CHRIS MARCHANT<\/strong> on drums. The World Cup had started and I asked if you could please record it and come to the club \u2013 well Keith had to miss it! I promise I wouldn\u2019t divulge the results on the microphone (like I did last time Peter) Oops! Some of you came and what another super evening of music we had. It started with Rex singing (Louis Armstrong style) \u2018On the Sunny Side of the Street\u2019. I loved the little bit of fun Rex instilled popping in the line \u201cRich as Brian Giles\u201d (instead of Rockefeller). They continued with \u2018Jazz Me Blues\u2019. I noticed Rex inserting a quote of Gershwin\u2019s \u2018Rhapsody in Blue\u2019, just great. Then he sang \u2018A Kiss to Build a Dream On\u2019. The dance floor became packed \u2013 Oh yes, romance is not dead. Another good ol\u2019 trad favourite, \u2018Mama\u2019s Gone, Goodbye\u2019 followed in which Eddie gave us a super bass solo. \u00a0The whole band made a wonderful job with \u2018Tangerine\u2019 sang by Rex (in his own voice!). Brian (W) also has a good jazz voice and sang the next number, \u2018Jelly Roll Blues\u2019 (said to be the first jazz number). I must also mention \u2018Bei Mir Bist Du Shon\u2019, or as I call it \u2013 \u2018My Dear Mr Shane\u2019 (I know, no class! Who said that?) It is an often played number as it is such a favourite of many audiences, Mahogany did it justice. Brian played a wonderful intro, Rex sang it and they all played fantastically, with a great solo from Chris. \u2018When the Midnight Choo Choo Leaves for Alabam\u2019 was another song sung by Rex and the evening was completed with \u2018What a Wonderful World\u2019 with Rex\u2019s brilliant \u2018Louis\u2019 imitation again. Oh, another lovely evening.<\/p>\n
