On trombone, David Gray brings an earthiness to his playing that transcends genres whilst the three saxes, despite being relegated to the backline, never failed to shine. Sue on baritone and flute, Stuart on tenor and soprano, Garry on alto were nothing less than awesome! Dave Hignett doesn't believe that the sky's the limit - for Dave it's the starting point. Mars, I'm heading your way!

Gerry Richardson's Big Idea @ The Jazz Café. June 2.
On trombone, David Gray brings an earthiness to his playing that transcends genres whilst the three saxes, despite being relegated to the backline, never failed to shine. Sue on baritone and flute, Stuart on tenor and soprano, Garry on alto were nothing less than awesome! Dave Hignett doesn't believe that the sky's the limit - for Dave it's the starting point. Mars, I'm heading your way!

It was a fab night - the band were on fire, all of them! Top class ....... just a pity we had to slip out the door before the encore!
Good time had by all. Thank you x
oh my! wish I'd been there!
Isn't Sue Ferris wonderful. The word had obviously got around that it was a lady playing the baritone solo and all the ladies in the house were clamouring to get a view - go on sister. Lance and I joked with her later that we were going to buy her a bass clarinet and a box to stand on. And what a lovely girl, so concerned that I lost £50, since found in a secret compartment of my wallet that obviously wasn't a secret to my automatic reflexes.
Incidentally, Gil Scott Heron, who wrote and recorded 'Lady Day and Trane' had a long term music collaborator - Brian Jackson on Flute - he introduces him on the live 'Bottle' and she did it proud.
