A flying visit to the Vermont Hotel before heading
along to the Jazz Café to catch Gerry Richardson. The advertised attraction –
Andrea Pattison and Stu Collingwood – received a better offer: a spot on a
television show being recorded in London. Understandably the duo went south.
The late dep of Hannah Taylor and Alix Shepherd did
nothing to lessen the quality in the Redwood Bar, far from it. Vocalist Taylor
sat on a high stool, pianist Shepherd alongside. The Vermont gig is a low key
affair affording musicians the opportunity to run through a selection of tunes
they want to play, perhaps haven’t played in a while. Taylor looked the part
dressed in black, high heels and pearls. The waist-coated Shepherd’s
accompaniment ever-professional. Route 66
cabaret-style, Gas book and Stevie Wonder. A half hour or so of classy sounds. On to the Caff for some
goings on Back at the Chicken Shack.
Russell.
