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), Alan Dandy (keyboard, pictured), Mick Durell (bass guitar, pictured in background) and Don Cook (drums). The only guest was John Lang (trombone). Our favourite numbers were:
1) Bewitched, Bothered and Bewildered, composed by Richard Rodgers, with lyrics by Lorenz Hart, for their musical 'Pal Joey'. The link is to Doris Day from the film 'Teacher's Pet'.
Alan Dandy's double solo feature:
2) Blame it on my Youth, composed by Oscar Levant and sung on this link by Nat King Cole
3) Blues in The Night, composed by Harold Arlen and performed on this link by Peggy Lee.
4) Alan Dandy's duet with Mick, Recado, composed by Djalma Ferreira. The link is to the Hank Mobley recording.

A very bold young woman came into the bar and asked if any of the band could suggest a young female jazz singer for a gig. She then sat next to Selina and asked her if she was the groupie. Selina gave her plenty of stick !
