Nigel Fox and his jazz band

Monday 11 Sept 23 After having had August off for a summer break Griffin Park Jazz Club was back with something a bit different. Nigel Fox, (an old school pal of John’s), and his band joined us for a night of live music and beautiful singing by Nigel’s wife Ingrid Emsden-Fox. With Duncan Lamont (junior), son of Duncan Lamont, composer and band leader, on Saxophone. Favourite tunes included Perdido, Duke Ellington, 1942, with Ingrid on vocals; My Ship, music by Kurt Weil, lyrics by Ira Gershwin, 1942; So Many Stars, by Sergio Mendes and Brasil ’66, 1967, featuring Duncan on sax; and Dead Leaves/Autumn Leaves, covered by Miles Davis, 1992; and finishing with George and Ira Gershwin’s Our Love Is Here to Stay, 1938.
