This evening we went to the Berrylands Hotel in Surbiton, for Brian White's Magna jazz band, with the standard line-up back together.
Our favourites from the excellent list of numbers were:
'Marching Through Georgia', with the expressed hope that there were no confederates in the audience;
'Nobody Knows You When You are Down and Out' AKA 'Nobody Knows You When You're Up The Spout';
Jelly Roll Morton's 'Black Bottom Stomp';
Sidney Bechet's 'Dans Les Rues d'Antibe';
and, best of all the keyboard feature by Alan Dandy (just back from holiday, pictured); his own rag/boogie composition 'Down By the River'.
Derek from Oban was back; even his wife Joyce is coming down to do some work in Kingston.
