Magna Jazz Band with Chez Chesterman, John Lee, Les Dyos & Keith Brown

On Thursday evening, together with Selina's cousin Marian and her husband Leon, we went to the Berrylands Hotel to see the Magna jazz band. There were two regulars, Alan Dandy (keyboard) and Richard Lyons (string bass), plus four deps; Chez Chesterman (Cornet, first picture), John Lee (tenor sax, clarinet, 2nd picture), Les Dyos (trombone, 3rd picture) and Keith Brown (drums). Highlights for sheer pleasure were Chez's great vocals; 'LouisianIA', 'Snag it', 'A kiss to Build a Dream on' and 'Goin' Down the Road'. Our favourite instrumental numbers were 'Apex Blues' (Chez calls it Wibbly-Wobbly-Woo), John Lee's feature 'Apple Honey' (lovely tenor sax and keyboard) and Les Dyos' feature 'Just Friends'.
Leon was reluctant to sit in the front row but I think he changed his mind when we sat him in front of John Lee, who he really loved ! Marian won the raffle again.
