Kevin Grenfell & Richard Leach “Girl Of My Dreams”: Another Intriguing Jazz&Jazz YouTube!
February 19, 2017 By 2 Comments
I’ve selected this YouTube as one of my favourites because of the great rendition of “Girl of My Dreams” and because it shows the “alternative” value of jazz gigs, demonstrated here by Kevin Grenfell’s humorous prelude. And yes, Kevin, you were being filmed for a YouTube.
Gene Austin’s “Girl Of My Dreams” (1928) performed here by
“Slide By Slide” for Jazz at The Bedford Golf Club on Thursday, 2nd May, 2014.
Kevin Grenfell (trumpet), Richard Leach (trombone), John Fellows (bass), Graham Smith (drums) and Simon Banks (piano).
Enjoy the repartee! And yes, “Acker and Kenny”, you are on YouTube!

Time For Another Favourite From My YouTube Collection: “I Remember Clifford”
February 18, 2017 By 2 Comments
Joan Chamorro (bass); Eva Fernández (sax, vocals); Andrea Motis (trumpet)
Just a few moments ago Ruediger Podlaha commented on my YouTube
‘I Remember Clifford’:
“It’s great to see these talented young ladies remembering one of the greatest trumpetists of jazz who died prematurely almost 60 years before this recording, thus continuing the tradition of immortal heroes of music like Benny Golson, Harold Land, Sonny Rollins or Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown and Lee Morgan. I’m sure Benny and Sonny will like it, and the others would have if they could have heard.”
So, Ruediger, I simply had to post ‘I Remember Clifford’ again as one of the favourites from my collection of almost 600 Jazz&Jazz YouTubes (400 Subscribers, 250,500 views).

My apologies to Pete, “Indian Summer” should have taken precedence over “Way Down Yonder in New Orleans” and “On The Sunny Side of The Street” previously posted.
Still to come: “Roses of Picardy” and “Jacqueline”.
