Magna Jazz Band with Graham Barton

On Thursday evening we went to the Berrylands Hotel in Surbiton, where Brian White's Magna jazz band is resident. There was just one dep.; Graham Barton (keyboard, pictured) a fine pianist who, after much nagging, finally gave us a feature number. Our favourites were:
'We Shall Walk Through The Streets Of The City' AKA 'Red River valley';
'C Jam Blues' with Graham playing a very original section in boogie-woogie style;
Graham's feature 'Temptation Rag' showing yet another of his styles;
'Blue Turning Grey';
'Crazy 'bout The Way I Ride', introduced with 'Walk' in place of Ride as usual.
