THE OKEH ALLSTARS |
... made their first appearance at the club last year, and we just had to invite them back. They are named after the renowned OKEH recording company of America, and were formed by JOHN GODDARD trombonist (ex NatWest Jazz Band and the Blackbottom Stompers) with KEN SIMS cornettist and escapee from Acker Bilk's Paramount Jazz Band, GEORGE DAWSON clarinettist and soprano saxophonist of the Sidney Bechet school, HUGH CROZIER grand piano, GEOFF OVER banjo, DON SMITH bass and tuba, and NORMAN DAVEY drums. Their cd is a favourite of mine.

A NIGHT AT BIRDLAND |
Birdland was founded in 1949 and named for Charlie Parker. Music of the highest standard has been played and enjoyed there to this day. Clifford Brown’s first recording date took place there (as a member of the Art Blakey Quintet); George Shearing dedicated a song to it; Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonius Monk, John Coltrane and Lester Young were amongst the giants who played there. Tonight, we are going to play some of the music featured at the club and we hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoy playing it. The Band is ROY HILTON, piano, GARY KAVANAGH, trumpet, ALEX GARNET, saxophones, BOBBY WORTH, drums and DAN SHEPPARD on bass. |
