A sweet start to the 2nd set with Sugar was followed by a lovely instrumental arrangement of All The Things You Are. Fi then stepped up to sing a beautiful ballad, Tenderly, before returning to another lovely tune, Pretty Eyes by Horace Silver. Next came a tune that Fi Findon has put words to, as apparently several bebop tunes have been given names with ‘ology’ in them, so this one was named, Notology . The final number of the night was written about a bass player – Paul Chambers, it was of course Mr PC.

Great Kath, good to see you there. It was a highly enjoyable evening for us too, on the other side of the Bandstand. and so good to see Ike and his lovely wife, dancing the night away.
It was a happy day indeed with the arrival of Erin (Porrit), in to the world, keeping Mr Porrit distracted from depping in for our own Bass player, Jim Crinson. Paul and Eric kept the whole set swinging brilliantly, and such a pleasure to play with them.
Thank you Kath for taking the time to write such a great review, see you tomorrow at the Jazz Cafe Jam session
