Silver Threads among the Gold - Maine Street Jazzmen @ Rosie's.

Herbie Hudson (tmb); Jim McBriarty (clt/alt); George Richardson )pno); Alan Rudd (bs); Mike Humble (dms).

Tomorrow night, at the Musicon Durham Jazz Festival, we have the Five Pieces of Silver. This afternoon, as seen in the photo, we have SIX pieces of silver (and counting!

And not a Horace (Silver) in sight!

I suppose the elderly audience provides a comfort zone but really the band don't need it. The music swings along with Olive's Sentimental Journey worth a pint or two of anyone's Euros.

Herbie played Misty (on the mouthie) - maybe it was a request. Sounded good as did Jim's alto solo. It was a good afternoon with plenty of convivial company including Julia who flew in from Farnborough and bemoaned the fact they didn't have any jazz in her locality.
