Our Thoughts are With Dave Savill
-----
One Morning in December
"Keep the change", I said as I left for the more (less) serious shopping of the day.
Tell you what if this 1998 disc had been released in 2011 it would have been the one. Great players, great songs.
Lance.
PS: One Morning in May - what a song - Mel Tormé and Matt Monro also handled this one good! My wife tells me that Dave Weisser once sung it for her at Jim's Two Rooms way back when Jim had two rooms!
Jazz Esquires @ Porthole - Nowt as funny as folk!
Whitley Bay Classic Jazz Party 2012 Tickets Now Available.
This, I'm informed from across the Atlantic, will be the last ever...

Tim Garland, Jim Mullen, Andy Champion and Adrian Tilbrook @ The Bridge.
Andy and Adrian - homegrown talent - were far from outshone and contributed on an equal basis with the visitors to make this such a memorable evening. Imagine if they'd had a rehearsal!
To top this, Stan Tracey at The Sage tomorrow (Monday Dec. 19) is going to have to play like he's never played before and on Thursday, also at The Sage, Christine Tobin too is going to have it all to do. But who knows what yet may happen before the year is over.
