THE Thursday jazz session, late of 20 years at the Old White Swan, Goodramgate, continues tonight with Bejazzled at the Red Lion, Poppleton.
Led by Don Lodge's Gypsy jazz guitar and Tim New (saxophones and flute), they have bagged the expert services of Dave Scarth (bass) and Leeds College graduate Harry Orme (guitar) to expand the band for a tasty programme of jazz standards.
It is good to see so many familiar faces finding their way to appreciate the music out on the A59 at the new jazz venue (01904 781141). Make it happen, folks!
Wakefield Jazz has reopened for Autumn and tomorrow night you can hear master guitarist Phil Robson's Organ Trio at 8.30pm (01977 680542) featuring Ross Stanley (Hammond Organ) and demon American drummer Gene Calderazzo. On Saturday, Jazz in the Spa will present the first female musician to join the Big Chris Barber Band (01937 844898).
On leave from Barber, Amy Roberts will be joined by co-leader Richard Excell in a quintet. Both are multi-instrumentalists on clarinets, saxophones and flute on a wide range of classic and traditional jazz, with vocals.
The tireless John Marley compiles the invaluable listings website jazzinyork.com and is king-pin bass player for several bands in the region. John and drummer Paul Smith host the long-standing session at Kennedy's Café Bar, Little Stonegate, on Sunday at 1pm (01904 620222) and he is also in trumpeter Ian Chalk's Firebird Quartet, which will be at the Phoenix Inn, George Street, on Sunday night at 8pm.
