More from Sunday's 'Jazzathon'
Rendezvous Jazz @ The Piper, Cullercoats. December 5th.
(Review by Russell)
Saturday night was Christmas party night at the Piper. I arrived in Cullercoats just in time for the rain clouds from over the North Sea to chase me up Farringdon Road. Cullercoats in winter is an inhospitable place to be so the promise of a pint, a buffet and some jazz made the trip worthwhile.
Seats all but taken, however, I managed to get seated at the back of the room near the bar and within striking distance of the buffet table. 'At the Jazz Band Ball' got things under way with guest trumpeter Alan Smith playing strong lead in a cracking frontline of Smith, Soulsby & MacAulay. 'Careless Love', usually one for Maureen to sing, was, on this occasion, taken by MacAulay with nice muted trumpet from Smith.
