Magna Jazz Band with Denny Ilett 


This evening we went to the Berrylands Hotel in Surbiton, to see The Magna jazz band with one change to the standard personnel; Denny Ilett (trumpet, pictured with hat mute).
Favourite numbers were:
1. Snag It, written by Joe "King" Oliver and played by his band on this link. He recorded the song with his Dixie Syncopators in Chicago in 1926.
2. Climax Rag, composed by James Scott and played on this link by a Jelly Roll Morton band. The Magna band had two false starts due to Denny forgetting the main theme.
3. Alan Dandy's solo feature Memories of You by Eubie Blake, the link being to a Guitar version by Pearl Django. This group is featured on some tracks of our Ian Cruickshank CD 'Django Meets the Duke'.
