John Barnes Quartet at the George & Dragon

This evening we went to the George & Dragon in Thames Ditton to see the John Barnes quartet, comprising John Barnes (baritone sax, tenor sax, clarinet and vocals), Alan Dandy (keyboard), Mick Durelle (string bass) and Don Cook (drums). John wore his very bright waistcoat featuring cats so I have repeated the archived picture.

The numbers we enjoyed most were:
'Lover Come Back To Me' by Sigmund Romberg;
'My Foolish Heart' by Victor Young;
Alan's solo feature 'Stardust', my second favourite Hoagy Carmichael composition after Skylark.

Guests were John Shepherd and John Lang playing 'Stevedore Stomp', 'Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans', 'Deed I Do', 'I Let a Song Go Out of My Heart' and 'Ring Dem Bells'.
