I like the stuff he did for Goodman during Benny's bop phase: http://indianapublicmedia.org/nightlights/bennys-bop-benny-goodman-late-1940s/

Amy Roberts is a product of Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester. I first saw her in a Basie-style student big band at the college with Alan Barnes as guest leader. Why was she whispering in the ear of the saxophonist next to her in the section, I wondered. Turned out she was singing riffs which the whole band gradually took up. Kansas City lives!

"Born To Be Blue" from this: Exquisite!

So Swanage joins the list of folding festivals. Sad! Employment opportunities for jazz musicians dwindle constantly, it seems. Better listen while I can, so it's Greg Abate and Alan Barnes at Cheadle Hulme on the 25th. And there's always the movies! http://homemcr.org/event/jazz-on-film/

Yes, worth seeing. Have added it to my rental list.

Looks like you're doing pretty well at Swanage. I could put together the best part of a day's listening that suits my tastes there, which I certainly couldn't do at any accessible festival round here. A new regime has taken over the Southport Feb. festival and put on Fabien Mary, who's a great favourite of mine, from 10:30 to midnight, which I can't make. An email to the organiser saying at least I could go on listening to Monsieur Mary's excellent albums, brought a plug for the Southport Premier Inn!
