Enrico Tomasso (trumpet/flugel); Brian Kellock (piano).
Thanks to the usual Facebook shenanigans that seem to plague me when I log in to this particular stream I reached the end of the show 3 minutes after everyone had gone home! No one else seems to have this problem - maybe I was born under the wrong sign.
Fortunately, although I only heard disjointed versions of Who Cares?; Azalea and Ko-Ko, the Gods smiled on me and allowed Thanks For The Memory to be rendered untarnished.
With Brian Kellock on piano, and reminiscent of those classic Ruby Braff/Ellis Larkins' recordings, this was, arguably, the finest moment of the series so far. It would be good to hear Brian and Rico doing an album together in proper studio conditions - now that would really be something!
The beer this week was Whitstable Bay which, presumably, is brewed in Whistable Bay - a Kentish resort noted for its oysters.
Also, during the stop start period, there was a sketch of young Rico with Louis Armstrong as well as one of Rico who, according to the comments, was wearing Clark sandals.
Next weekend Spats returns as Rico's accomplice.
