Ray Harley (tpt); Jim McBriarty (clt/sop); Herbie Hudson (tmb/hca/vcl); George Richardson (pno); Alan Rudd (bs); Mike Humble (dms); Olive Rudd (vcl).
Another splendid afternoon washed down with Cumberland Bitter. The Maine Street men and woman have the dixieland repertoire honed down to a fine art - and it is art. If the Condon Gang had still been around they may have sounded like this and Ray Harley is a player very much in the Billy Butterfield mould.
It's straight down the middle 4/4 swing no changing of time signatures for these boys - not that there is anything wrong with that!
Olive sang well on Keepin' Out of Mischief Now despite suffering from a larynx related problem - still sounded good.
It was pleasant, it was fun, it was what jazz is all about - six guys swinging on recognisable tunes.
Another great Thursday fix.
Lance.
