Harry Keeble (tenor sax) & Dean Stockdale (piano)
St George's Friday lunchtime concert series included a jazz gig featuring two well known faces. Tenor saxophonist Harry Keeble and pianist Dean Stockdale played for three quarters of an hour to a congregation of a few tens of jazz - and non-jazz - parishioners. Harry's tenor cut through loud and clear, Dean's keyboard less so.
Sonny Rollins' Sonnymoon for Two and Hank Mobley's This I Dig of You were the uptempo selections, Harry stretching out. Billy Strayhorn's A Flower is a Lovesome Thing and David Mann's In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning vied for the highlight of the afternoon. This being a performance in a church, the setting didn't encourage the applause one would expect at a small venue jazz gig. That said, Harry and Dean were more than up to the mark in making the gig work. Russell
