oggiesnr Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Should be good. I know Huw from his work with June Tabor but it's a long way from Hull Steve Quote
sarah thomas Posted February 3, 2013 Author Posted February 3, 2013 Nevermind. I'll raise a glass to you Quote

[/quote] Hi Sarah, If that's the place on St Mary's street, they have a great blues night last Friday of the month. I must check out some Jazz too! Do you know Mary Condliffe? She used to teach at the Welsh Col, fantastic bassist! Gary Quote
sarah thomas Posted February 4, 2013 Author Posted February 4, 2013 I've heard of Mary Condliffe through another forum member but have never heard her play. I believe she plays with the Welsh National Opera. Do you know if she's a jazzer at all? Quote
LemonCello Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Hi Sarah, yeah she does play with the WNO. I did the Trout Quintet with her a few years back up in Harlech and I think she's strictly classical! Quote
Bilbo Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I hate that Trout thing. It irritates me. Quote

[/quote] Great to play on the 'Cello, but I prefer the Quintet with two 'Cellos, possibly the greatest piece of chamber music of all time! Certainly Schubert at his finest! Quote
sarah thomas Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Monday 4th March at Dempseys in Cardiff - Osian Roberts on tenor saxophone with basschatter Mark Trounson on bass, Lloyd Haines on drums and David Ferris on piano. Top stuff! Quote
sarah thomas Posted February 12, 2013 Author Posted February 12, 2013 Sadly, I won't be going as I will be taking in words of wisdom from his jazzness, Sir Julian. Quote
mtroun Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 Thanks for the plug Sarah! I get the weird feeling that a lot of people don't know about Jazz at Dempsey's - they put on a lot of the best jazz talent in the UK but because it's not particularly obvious where it is (even in the pub), while Cafe Jazz is easier to find but has a more variable quality of stuff on. I'm really looking forward to seeing Dave Hamblett group next week. The Ballamy/Warren gig was amazing - they have an album with June Tabor out on ECM this year. They were both my tutors at the Royal Welsh College last year and are very nice, helpful, down to earth people - but when they play I'm scared... Is Sir Julian Mr. Martin? Lovely bloke! Quote
sarah thomas Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) Yes, Sir Julian is Mr Martin. I go to his improvisers' class on Monday evenings. But our paths must already have crossed as I was at the Ballamy/Warren gig. Wonderful stuff and so amazing when the phone started ringing and Iain Ballamy turned the interruption into a moment of glory by incorporating it into his improvisation. And the Lloyd Haines Quartet - first jazz gig I've been to where there was an impromptu sing along! Edited February 13, 2013 by sarah thomas Quote
mtroun Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Yeah that would be the RWCMD 'jazz lads' after a few too many... Quote
mtroun Posted March 3, 2013 Posted March 3, 2013 Tomorrow night Osian Roberts at Jazz at Dempsey's, I'm playing bass behind this esteemed tenor sax player! Quote
