Scarborough Jazz Festival - Friday Evening.
Each of the ten young players were given a feature and all were magniifique.
It was compelling, it was mindblowing at times mournful, at times jolly like a back street French cabaret. All the soloists were impressiive but particularly outstanding was Eve Risser who delivered the most amazing piano solo. Percussive chords, virtuoso runs, Eve attacked the keyboard with a vengeance her shape as angular as the lines she was playing - a delight to see and hear.

Lorez Alexander
When I heard this it really made me sit up and listen....the arrangement of "Send in the Clowns" totally had my interest. OK the experts will perhaps say its rather dated and maybe been done before...but I just loved it.
The superb lady vocalist I had never heard of before, was Lorez Alexandria, she died 10 yrs ago...

Elaine Binney and the Jazz Rascals @ The Bridge
Sustaining the Pedal @ The Jazz Café or just another manic Sunday.
Pete had lost - or it had been stolen - his sustain pedal.
Keith told of his war with Newcastle Library.
SNAFU!
A sustain pedal was found but it didn't work.
"The polarity needs reversing" said Pete, "Do you have a soldering iron?" he asked Keith.
"No - it got stolen!" replied mein genial host.
There was much discussion on how to successfully reverse the polarity without a soldering iron.
"My aluminium washing up bowl also got stolen" added Keith.
I checked to see my wallet was still there.
Eventually the polarity was reversed but the pedal still refused to sustain.
Enter a customer. "I'm an electronics engineer he announced - I build robots."
Ah! A man who builds robots could surely heal an ailing sustain pedal!
Alas this was no ordinary sustain pedal and the Robotic Engineer failed.
In came a former Sony Sound Engineer. A man noted for his consumption of Bud.
He too proved unequal to the task and retired to be consoled in the arms of Bacchus.
The Robot maker played some classical pieces without sustain and I left for The Bridge.
For all I know 'the experts. are still working on the pedal.
Lance.
