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, alto sax, clarinet, vocal), Alan Dandy (keyboard), Mick Durelle (bass guitar) and Don Cook (drums). Our favourite numbers were:
1) I Remember You, composed in 1941 by Victor Schertzinger with lyrics by Johnny Mercer, this link being to the 1961 number one hit by Frank Ifield (nostalgia).
2) My Mother's Eyes, composed in 1929 by Abel Baer and L. Wolfe Gilbert. The link is to the Kenny Ball version (nostalgia again).
3) Alan Dandy's solo feature God Bless The Child, composed by Billie Holiday as sung on this link.
4) Caravan, written by valve trombonist Juan Tizol. The link is to the Duke Ellington version.
John Lang (trombone) joined the band for 'Some of These Days', 'I Let a Song Go out of My Heart' and 'Ring Dem Bells'.
