This evening we saw the Mike Piggott trio with Nils Solberg and Peter Morgan, at the Cricketers in Horsell Birch, Woking. Once again this group provided fine swinging jazz with every number enjoyable and played inventively. I wrote down 16 favourite numbers, i.e. most of them, so I will just mention those we don't remember hearing from them in the past:
'Manoir De Mes Reves' by Django Reinhardt;
Nils' vocal 'The Frim Fram Sauce', composed by by Joe Ricardel with lyrics by Redd Evans and made famous by Nat King Cole;
Peter & Nils' duet 'The 5 O'clock Whistle', by Gene Irwin, Josef Myrow and Kim Gannon and recorded by Duke Ellington, Glenn Miller and Ella Fitzgerald;
Nils' vocal 'Chicken Rhythm', by Slim Gaillard.
I spoke briefly to Peter Morgan, the most creative bass player we know. He has a second web site in addition to the link above; Cowrie Bay.
Axel was back from California, providing plenty of amusement during the early period when we would otherwise be alone. We tried to interest him in various women but he is faithful to Dawn. Brian and Tony joined us later. Selina and Tony were having fits of laughter later in the evening; something to do with a fish dish being eaten at the table behind us.
