Bebop Spoken There

Emma Rawicz: "I'm at a place where I'm really happy, but why stop there? Okay isn't really good enough." - (Jazzwise November 2021)

The Things They Say!

Jazz in the Afternoon @ Cullercoats Crescent Club - August 16

Herbie Hudson (trombone, harmonica, vocals); Brian Chester (keyboards); Dave Percy (bass guitar); Ian Hetherington (drums) + Brian Lynam (harmonica); Marilyn Hunter (vocals); Teresa Armstrong (vocals); John Broddle (vocals)

Nothing much had changed, except for just the one hand pull on the bar instead of the usual four or five beers to choose from. And until the cook returns next week, it's a toastie or crisps or nuts. The Cullercoats' regulars turned out, yes, nothing much had changed. Monday, one o'clock, Jazz in the Afternoon. 
The old guard - Herbie Hudson, Brian Chester, Dave Percy - were joined by Ian Hetherington, drums, and a gaggle of guest singers. When You're Smiling sang Herbie, it was like old times. The afternoon took on a familiar shape...Herbie the prankster, Herbie the 'bone and harp man, a vocal too. From time to time guests joined the band: Brian 'No Time for Jive' Lynam, Marilyn Hunter travellin' Route 66, Teresa Armstrong singing I'm Confessin' and John Broddle declaring I'll See You in My Dreams.
