I put my money where my keyboard is and went to England to attend listmate<br>
John Petters' Shakespeare Jazz'n'Swing Festival in Stratford upon Avon.<br>
How does one sum up a wonderful festival in a few words?<br>
John assembled an impressive roster of musicians: Chez Chesterman on cornet<br>
(the closest there is to Red Allen?), Allen Beechy, Gary Wood, Andy Dickens<br>
and Alan Bateman (trumpet), Mike Pointon and Dave Hewett (trombone), John<br>
Wurr (ex-Colyer), Pete Allen, Duncan Batchelor, Richard Exall, Amy<br>
Roberts.Karl Hird and David Horniblow (reeds), Tim Huskisson (new to me),<br>
JJ Vinten, Dave Browning and Colin Bray on piano (the latter - also vibes),<br>
some great banjo/guitar players: Tim Phillips, Jim Douglas (of Alex Welsh<br>
fame) and Jonathan Graham, the wonderful 27 year old Ben Holder on violin,<br>
the omnipresent bassist Keith Donald, and John and the youthful Jack Amblin<br>
(probably under 30) and drums. The programme was well variegated - New<br>
Orleans (Kid Ory Salute, Tribute to Ken Colyer and a spirituals show,<br>
Chicago Dixieland, Gypsy swing and tributes to Benny Goodman and to Johnny<br>
Hodges - who could ask for anything more?<br>
In addition, John gave a jazz lecture and conducted a jazz quiz, both very<br>
entertaining with some great music.<br>
The musicians ages ranged from the 20's to mid-70's, which was good. The<br>
age of the audience, however, emphasized what's wrong with such festivals -<br>
I felt young there! Not that there were no younger people, but most seemed<br>
to be my age or older. Of course, the venue - the Crowne Plaza - hardly<br>
encouraged younger people.<br>
And there was a CD stall - I bought eight CDs, and have not yet had the<br>
time to hear them all!<br>
Before going I phoned George Huxley to find out whether he was playing<br>
around the time of the festival, and then went to Sollihull to hear George<br>
and his band at the British Legion. After the festival I went to hear the<br>
excellent Gary Potter Hot Club Quartet at that Mecca of Gypsy swing, the<br>
Quecumbar.<br>
Last Friday I hear the revived Good Time Jazz Featuring the soprano sax of<br>
Jacues Sany.<br>
Tomorrow - the Isradixie at the Shablul in the Tel-Aviv Port.<br>
Cheers<br>
