Preview: John Stowell & Tom Remon (Prohibition Bar - Thursday 14 Nov.)
R.I.P. Lou Donaldson (1926-2024)
Donaldson was one of the great alto players who emerged from the influence of Charlie Parker to form his own funky/soul style.
It could arguably be said that his Blue Note album Alligator Boogaloo set the foundation for future funk saxists as Donny McCaslin and Kamasi Washington. However, for straight ahead jazz fans such as myself, it was his other Blue Note albums with Clifford Brown, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Grant Green and Jimmy Smith that overworked the 'play' button.
Lou Donaldson was 98 years old when he died. Rest In Peace. Lance
Richard Wetherall Quartet @ the Moor Club, Heaton Moor, Stockport - Nov. 10

It’s unusual to find Richard playing the main role in a four-piece combo and doing all the announcements. He did them well. Also taking a major part in the proceedings was an old friend of mine who I had not seen for some time.
I first met Uli Elbracht, originally from Cologne, at the Crown, an old jazz venue under the Stockport viaduct. This was maybe 20 years ago.He impressed me then and impressed me tonight with his original composition entitled Anything You Like and I liked what he did with it and the Irving Berlin standard How Deep Is The Ocean?. This tune seems to be one that gets played a lot by Stockport musicians, in fact looking at my notes I see Ed Kainyek gave it a thorough workout only last week.
