<div><font size="2" face="Bookman Old Style">Karl Hird, now resident in the UK, is
the son of the late Lew and Pam Hird (Brits who emigrated to Australia in the
'60s). Jim Hurd (note the spelling) is no relation whatsoever. He presently
plays with the Frog Island Jazz Band. I played with Jim and the Frogs
earlier this year whilst subbing. The first time I played with Jim was in 1960
in Barnet, Hertfordshire with the Cardinal Jazzmen. He's been a stalwart of the
North London Scene forr what seems forever!</font></div>

text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br><br>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>--------------
