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 from archive) a fine pianist who plays in a style we enjoy, with lots of full chords. Our favourites were:
Saratoga Swing, a classic Duke Ellington blues;
Brian White's feature Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gave to Me, written by Charles McCarron, Casey Morgan & Arthur Swanstrom in 1919;
Tin Roof Blues, credited to Ben Pollack in 1923 when he was a member of the New Orleans Rhythm Kings together with the band's trombonist George Brunies but the melody is believed to be much older.
