Presenting The Culrose Seven at the 2017 Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival

July 30, 2017 By Peter Butler Leave a Comment

Humour, fun, repartee and of course, great jazz marked the The Culrose Seven’s opening session of the 2017 Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival on Friday, 14th July.

The Colrose Seven are: Pete Rose (clt); Bill Jones (clt); Tom Clarke (sax); Ray Perkins (pno); Colin Hodges (bjo); Lisa Pentecost (bass); Jimmy Tagford (dms).

It was great to see and film the two younger members in the band – Tom on sax and Lisa on bass. Colin introduced Tom by announcing that he has appeared several times at Canterbury
Magistrates court. He works there!

Huge apologies to Colin for missing his vocal duet with Lisa Pentecost. Given the increasing acceptance and popularity of my Jazz&Jazz YouTubes, I believe the time has come for me to
consult band leaders on the numbers they intend to play to avoid missing special features.
After all, if I filmed entire performances I wouldn’t be able to sit back, relax and enjoy
the jazz. So lesson taken on board, Colin.

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans
