The Walnut Welcomes The Don Steele Jazz Band: Noon, Sunday, 4th March
February 27, 2018 By Leave a Comment
Note: Sadly, due to the atrocious weather, Tad has reluctantly had to cancel tomorrow’s Walnut Tree event featuring The Don Steele Band with Jan Bryce. Tad messaged me: “I will offer an October date to Jan and band Cheers, Tad.” The band would have had to travel from deepest Kent, one of the worst hit counties. Years ago when I lived in East Kent there were devastating winters. The sea even froze for almost a mile off shore in 1963.
Despite current inclement weather, Don and his band are assured of a very warm welcome at
The Walnut Tree, Blisworth, on Sunday, 4th March. Hailing from Kent, this will be a very special gig for trombonist Jan Bryce.
Gershwin, Bacharach, Monk, Gillespie all at The Fancy Bakery, Bedford …

Remembering Tony Richards
February 24, 2018 By Leave a Comment
Richard Elmes posted a brief message on my Facebook Jazzers Group yesterday: “I’m devastated to say that Steamboat’s wonderful trumpet player and great friend Tony Richards, died today after a very short illness. We will miss him so much….condolences to his family.”
Playing at Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle Festival: Tony Richards (tpt), Dave Corsby (clt), Martin Rawbone (tmb), Nick Rawbone (dms), Neil Francis (bass), Dave Robinson (vibes)
Tony played with Richard’s “Steamboat Jazz Band”. They featured regularly at the Ramsgate Seaside Shuffle annual Summer Festival and at the monthly jazz sessions in the Ramsgate Small Boat Owners’ Club where I was privileged to film them.
In remembrance of Tony here he is with Steamboat, “Basin Street Blues”

Norman Gibson reported in Jazz North West, courtesy of Fred Burnett: “I have to report that there is no doubt that the Frog and Henry Trio UK Tour started with the best audience reception I’ve witnessed at Kendal Jazz Club in a long while. This was a really good marker for the success of their tour.

February 17, 2018 By Leave a Comment
When “JazzFan76” commented on my Old Rugged Cross Jazz&Jazz YouTube: “Not a fan of religious music but this was played very beautifully”, I simply had to feature it again on Jazz&Jazz.
“The Old Rugged Cross” is favourite hymn written in 1912 by George Bennard, an American evangelist and composer. Recorded over the years by many famous artistes and performed here by the brilliant
Adrian Cox Quintet.
