Album of the Year
Time Change Next Friday @ the Caff.
Tom Harrison Quintet featuring Cleveland Watkiss @ Hull Jazz Festival Winter Edition - November 19
They walk on silently, soldiers of music
picking up their instruments to explore
The terrain of Ellington & Strayhorn
In the theatre of jazz,
producing elephant vocals with the lamenting
jungle wail of Harrison's Sax...
no howdy do or Hellos
from these bros.
serious music is what they're here to do
and no time was wasted in this concert
by " musings " ,
A musician plays
and this is what they did...

CD Review: Duncan Lamont Big Band featuring Kenny Wheeler - As if by Magic
Tea For Two please.
In the early '20s Billy Ternent was the resident bandleader and in 1927 Jos Q. Atkinson took over whilst, in the postwar years, clarinetist Willie Walker was at the helm.
Colin Aitchison kindly sent me this snippet from the May edition of Melody Maker.
