Tomorrow can wait.


Talking with friends down at my jazz club.

Making impossible plans that might just happen. We’ll have to wait and see.

Tomorrow morning won’t be such fun; meeting up with Dr Feelgood down at Charing Cross......gulp.
But tonight?

Modern Jazz, that’s what and from some of the finest musicians too;


 

On the left Steve Fishwick on trumpet playing great on one of my favourite jazz pieces; ‘The Duke’.

This came from Dave Brubeck and that’s fine but then there’s the version on the album ‘Miles Ahead’ by Miles Davies which is just perfect.

If you are of a certain age, this is in your blood anyway as it was used as the incidental music in ‘Tomorrow’s World’…every Thursday night, remember?

Here’s Chris Biscoe on Saxophone;

 
The pair were sharp tonight – complex stuff.

Out of sight from me was Kate Williams on keyboards. Again her part in ‘The Duke’ was a joy.

Trevor Tomkins was on the Drums and Mick Hutton on bass.

A good night – cool jazz after a long, hot day.

Tomorrow can wait.

So far behind.....


I still haven't put up my pictures from punk night at The Cave last week and today I visited The Ecovillage in Runnymede and I've got lots of exciting things to say about that.

But instead of catching up with myself I've been taking photo's of these;



 I think they are Damson Flies, they look like dragon flies but are too small.

 
 
These were all taken in the front garden - which as you can see is overgrown, a nature reserve.
 
It's what I call a 'cancer garden', but I will get my act together eventually!
