Urban Gin House Band with Dave Alison 



On Sunday evening we went to The Europa in East Molesey to see the Urban Gin House jazz band. This time it was a quintet comprising Alan Brock (trumpet), Dave Alison (tenor sax, clarinet; pictured), Roger Limb (keyboard), Mike Bennett (string bass) and Eddie Kettle (drums). Our favourite number with this line-up was 'Li'l Darlin'.
The guests from the audience came in four groups:
1) John Shepherd (pocket trumpet), playing 'Crazy Rhythm' and 'There'll be some Changes made'.
2) Trevor Dockerill (tenor sax), Roy Stokes and Peter Tallent (trombones), playing 'Georgia on my Mind' and 'All of Me'.
3) Peter Clancy (trombone) and Fred Shaw (vocal) playing 'Pennies from Heaven'
4) Peter Clancy playing 'Indiana'.
Colin Lewry (keyboard) played during the breaks, including a beautiful version of 'Willow Weep for Me'. He said afterwards that he stole some sections from Art Tatum; that's fine by us !
