Bebop Spoken There

Delfeayo Marsalis: "Slide Hampton once told me that it's not always the person that is playing the highest or playing the fastest that's making the greatest impact." - (DownBeat March 2023).

Live at Jack's Place with a special guest - Dec. 29

Adrian Cox (clarinet, vocals); Andrej Baranek (keyboards); Tim Williams (double bass); Jack Cotterill (drums)

# 38 in Jack Cotterill's weekly live stream series. As luck would have it, Adrian Cox was up in drummer Cotterill's neck of the woods and readily agreed to drop by to play a set with Mr C, pianist Andrej Baranek and bassist Tim Williams. Herlin Riley's Trombone Joe for starters, Cotterill's hi-hat would be in overdrive for much of the set. During the course of the set Cox would sing a few numbers, the first of them I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm. Warm? Cotterill said the heating wasn't working and he had brought in a couple of oil heaters...now it was too hot! Off came the woollens, window opened, t-shirt order. 

All of Me with Cox going for it, Baranek soloing, Williams and Cotterill stoking the rhythmic fires. A Christmas tune to finish with...Mary's Boy Child. Calypso at Christmas, it's tempting to say the Crimbo lark is wearing a bit thin. Jack Cotterill will be back next year, that's next week, Wednesday 5 January (8:00pm). Russell  
    
Set list: Trombone Joe; Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans?; I've Got My Love to Keep Me Warm*; The Christmas Song; Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious*; Winter Wonderland; All of Me*.     

* Cox vocal numbers.
