This evening we saw the Apex Jazz Band at the Cricketers in Horsell Birch, Woking. The band comprised Tony Nutt (cornet), Peter Minett (soprano and alto sax), Clive Burton (trombone), Terry Twiss (guitar, banjo), Bert Shipp (bass guitar, vocals) and a drummer who was not introduced while we were present. Notable numbers were:
'All Steamed Up', unknown to us but seemingly composed by Australian tenor sax player Ade Monsborough;
Peter and Clive's duet 'Bei Mir Bist du Schön' (German) or 'Bei Mir Bistu Shein' (Yiddish: בייַ מיר ביסט דו שיין, 'To Me You're Beautiful'), composed by Sholom Secunda with lyrics by Jacob Jacobs.
At our table were Axel, Brian and Tony (welcomed by Selina with the words "come and sit next to me"). When he was a young seaman Axel was told by an experienced sailor that his first sexual experience should not be with a prostitute because it would affect his relationship with women for ever. Axel ignored the advice but said it had not affected him. We commented that none of his relationships seems to have lasted and he did admit to sexual posessiveness when he was younger. Perhaps the moral from the film 'Closer' is as I thought.
