Jools Holland / Dave Swift : Blackpool Big Band Boogie

[wateroftyne]

Hey gang

Earlier in the week I was lucky to get a sneak peek of the film of the Jools Holland live show from Blackpool that's being shown at 9pm on BBC4 tomorrow (Sunday).

It's fantastic - great music, incredible band, and the rhythm section are awesome throughout. Well worth a watch.

That's the documentary that uses clips from it. The full show is tomorrow night :-)

Oh dear, it would have been a great show without having to suffer the blessed Jools in between the historical archive items. And I'm aware that Dave Swift is a very nice bloke but can he please try to get a bit of sustain instead of the continuous thudding noise. You just can't distinguish any of the notes. He might as well be playing a small kick drum. Lisa's solo over the credits was good tho. Just Saying.

I think Dave's tone suits the big band thing perfectly. I can hear the notes just fine....

I really must go and see Jools et al. Especially as I can get very discounted tickets.

I know people who aren't even into the sort of music Jools plays but said it was still one of the best shows they've been to.

I guess it's a subjective thing because I really enjoyed Dave Swift's playing and thought he sounded great.
