A quick visit to the men’s room (two flights up).Returning to the bar, the line-up on the stand had changed somewhat, such is the nature of a jam session. Vocalist Debra Milne got up to sing with Rob Bates behind the kit. Ian Forbes didn’t hang around long (nowt new there!), Francesco and Tom were long gone, Bradley was heading for a last train.
The sitters-in done, the house band reassembled with Last Train Johnston and tenor man Paul Gowland to accompany Alice Grace. Yes, the fabulous Ms Grace was in the house! Just in Time, a scatterooney of a take on Joyspring, Kenny Wheeler’s Everybody’s Song But My Own and the late night confessional Blame It On My Youth. A jam session? This was worthy of the concert platform. Class.
