Monday 10 July 2023 With our first post-Covid session last month in the bag, we were back in the swing of things this Monday evening with a brand new band for us, Sarah Spencer, who has played at the club before with other band, and her Transatlantic Jazz Band. The musicians came together online, during the pandemic and you could tell how much they enjoy playing music, the session was upbeat and full of enthusiasm. Tunes included All the do is dream of you, from Singing in the Rain, with Sarah on vocals, There’s a House in Harlem for Sale, and Take Me Back to My Boots and Saddle, by Red Allen, and Bogalusa Strut by the Morgan Brothers.
Sarah Spencer – Saxophone and clarinet
Andrew Clancy – Keyboards
Jim Swinnerton – Bass
Mike ‘Magic’ Henry – Trumpet
Lots to see on YouTube for each of these musicians…. just do a search for their names.
There will be a summer break and no jazz in August but we’ll be back on Monday 11 September with Nigel Fox playing for us. Everyone is welcome to join us. 8pm – 10.30pm.
