An occasional peregrination through the programme
Lover Man by Billie Holiday
Tomorrow is the big day for our 100 Years of Jazz concert at Cadogan Hall (tickets here!). We begin the show in 1899 and in 1937 we
finally bring out the sixth member of the ensemble. She's been waiting in the wings for thirty
eight years and has had to hang about until the swing era before she joins the
old geezers who've been hogging the stage up till now.
Lover Man - Billy Holiday
The tom toms beat off in Sing Sing Sing and
we've stepped up a gear as there's now two trumpets as Enrico has been joined
by the Wigan Wonder, Miss Georgina Jackson.
Multi-taskng; Georgina Jackson
After her dazzling entry the mood changes as
she puts her trumpet down and now takes the mic and cripes, she sings as well
as she plays. Multi-tasking is required
of every member of the ensemble and as all us chaps know the women do it best
of all.
Georgina has recently released her second
album called Watch What Happens, some of it recorded with full orchestra and
some with a terrific trio accompanying her. It's so good that some enterprising chap has licensed it to be released
throughout the Far East.
Through the
miracle of modern technology we were able to translate the Taiwanese sleeve
notes for her CD through Google Translate and we hope you enjoy the results...
