On Monday evening at The Cricketers in Horsell Birch we saw the Phil Brown Swingtet, comprising Phil Brown (trombone), Lester Brown (trumpet, flugel horn), Mark Aston (Tenor Sax, Clarinet and curly soprano sax), Ken Ames (guitar), Andrew Clancy (keyboard), Mike Bennett (string bass) and David Clancy (drums). Unfortunately, problems with the sound system made this performance slightly weak but it was still better than most pub jazz.
We enjoyed yet another variation on 'Autumn Leaves', we believe to be based on the Miles Davis / Cannonball Adderley recording, plus the usual swingtet version of 'Water Melon Man'. Guests were as follows:
Roy Stokes and Colin Lewry for 'Rosetta' and 'Satin Doll';
Anthony Cox (trumpet) and Peter Clancy (string bass), as pictured, for 'Take the A Train' and 'That's a Plenty'.
Francis Crispet (tenor sax) for 'Bags Groove', reminding us of jazz at Chislehurst caves when we were young.
