Sad to report that the iconic modern jazz cornetist/vocalist Dave Weisser has been hospitalised after a fall. Dave and Jude were in a Durham bookstore where Dave missed his footing causing some quadricep damage. His leg is in plaster.

Aww best wishes Dave for a speedy recovery Pam and Dave Clarke x
I'll pass on your best wishes tomorrow Lance.
Meanwhile, I have to tell you this as it's such a typically Dave response even while in severe pain.
His first thought after he missed that damn step was to locate the biography of Trane that he'd dropped in the process!
I remember Dave from my days in JG Windows in the late 70s. My enduring memory of him was asking me if I had any araldite cos his crown had come out and he wanted to glue it back in! (it worked too)
Good on yer Dave, the Trane biography is more important than a mere leg injury!
Very sorry to hear of this Dave. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Best wishes
Roly
Must have been Giant Steps where he fell.
Get well soon Dave, all the way from Japan! You don't need your leg to play trumpet though, so no excuses!

Hi Dave it should be me tripping up steps not you but thanks for taking my turn! Hope you are up and about soon

From Ann Alex, Dave, you are always so encouraging to me with my singing, best wishes for better health soon, love, Ann
Get well soon Dave.....you were a miss at Keith's plaque unveiling last Sunday.
And very best wishes for a tolerably pain free rehab, Dave - from Trumpet Towers in West Jesmond. Patti xx
Hi Dave Sorry to hear of your fall. I know what you are going through as I broke my leg and needed a complete HIP re -placement Get well soon.
Kindest regards Raymond Newton Double Bass /Cello Bass Guitar player.
As so many of the posts above are now a couple of years old I thought it worth saying...... Its great to see Dave Weisser getting to the Globe each Wednesday, enjoying other people making music with Jude's encouragement and bringing in new players each week as Dave always has done. For example we have all enjoyed Laura's amazing contribution and are in awe of her youthful skill.
What a wonderful regular group who also encourage new talent - and Dave still sings us the odd verse in his inimitable way.
Mike & Pauline
