> The show started almost on the minute, something rare with Israel, with a

> Not too bad for high school kids. A black American singer, Ms. Hillary

> supported the choir quite well.
> The REAL THING started after a short break, again - right on time. Dr.
> White appeared with Eli (Preminger, trumpet) and the Chocolate Factory,
> comprised of, in addition to Eli, Amnon Ben-Artzi (trombone), Tal Kuhn
> (bass) and Ilan Smilan (banjo); Miles Labat from New Orleans was on drums.
> The programme consisted mainly of traditional standards, but they were
> played with gusto and enthusiasm; the group also played Michael White's
> "Give It Up" (subtitled "A Gypsy Second Line"). White excelled, perhaps to
> prove that the description "The greatest clarinet player" was not too
> exaggerated. His "Summertime," played with klezmer overtones, gained him
> tumultuous ovation (and by the time I got to the CD stall, all copies of
> the CD containing it were gone). And, of course, there was the inevitable
> "Burgundy St. Blues." He must have played it a thousand times, but still,
> inexplicably, imbues it with great passion and feeling; a really moving
> tribute to George Lewis! Unfortunately, the band's set was only 60 minutes
> - another group was about to take the stage, so, despite the standing
> ovation, the band was not even allowed an encore (festival organizers will
> appreciate it).
> The next day we (that includes even more friends) went to hear Dr. White
> and the Chocolate Factory at the Tel-Aviv bar (and often a jazz venue)
> Hoodna. As expected, that was a different story. For one thing, the
> excelelnt soprano saxophonist Jacues Sany was added to the lineup (Jaques'
> presence is usually enough to lure me). Dan Cohen (guitar) replaced Ilan
> Smilan, and Rany Birnbaum was on drums. Jacues and Dr, White are old
> friends, and played together when Jacques visited New Orleans some years
> ago. The performance was outstanding, better than the night before, hot,
> swinging, good solos abounding. After a few numbers, another octogenarian,
> Merton Cahm, sat in on alto sax. Both Jacques and Merton are members of
> the Isradixie Band (whom I am planning to hear on the 28th), and used to
> playing together. The three reeds gave the group a really big sound. The
> three reed players are real pros, and also full of inspiration. At some
> stage Miles Labat replaced Ranny Birnbaum for a few numbers, to be replaced
> by another drummer, an original member of the New Orleans Function (and a
> member of listmate Larry Brand's Dr. Jazz) sat in on drums. The set was
> longer, too, andthe public, albeit smaller than the night before (the green
> in Rosh Ha'Ayin is big, Hoodna is small), was very enthusiastic. About
> half of it, if not more, consisted of kids from a Rosh Ha'Ayin school. But
> all good things come to an end, and so did that set - some of the kids and

> even have the chance to tell him how excited Amnon go at his concert in
> Eilat some years back, and shouted "This is THE real thing!" Merton
> departed, too, to attend a friend's birthday.
> After a short brake, the show resumed, without Michael White. The veteran
> tenor sax player Jess Koren sat in for the first few numbers. Jess,
> usually a bit too modern for may taste, sounded just right with the group
> and played fine, hot, swinging solos. He departed after two or three
> numbers, but the band went on, and the playing ws still great! For the

> with everybody in top form. Nothing unexpected, but it seemed to be even
> better than usual. Everybody seemed to be inspired by the presence of the
