Bebop Spoken There

Steve Race: "The personnel is different, notably in the inclusion of Ben Webster, always, to my mind, a rather half-hearted tenor player"

Saturday Night @ The Jazz Café

The number 22 bus took me from the Globe to the Jazz Café. I had two reasons to call in, the second one was to catch the final moments of this Saturday's duo set. It was so good I almost forgot the first reason for calling which could have been embarrassing if I had!
Giles Strong and Mick Shoulder on guitars - yes Mick using six strings instead of four! As a bonus we had Ray Burns on harmonica and Paul Edis on clarinet! In musical terms - a bonus worthy of Barclays or Thomas Cook!
