-JIM B. DONOVAN.
WELL FOR THE FIRST SESSION OF THE NEW YEAR, AND UP AGAINST THE WEATHER, THE TURNOUT FOR THIS SESSION WAS MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED, WITH SEVERAL NEW ATTENDEES JOINING US. AS USUAL NO PARTICULAR PLOT BUT A SMALL TRIBUTE TO THE LATE YUSEF LATEEF WAS IN ORDER. PLUS A FEW TUNES FOR "THE WEATHER"/SOME BOSSA-LATIN FOR THOSE ATTENDING FOR THE FIRST TIME/PAT BOONE! COVERING ELVIS ON WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN HIS 79 th BIRTH DAY THE DAY FOLLOWING/A PLAY FOR PETER GUNN, WHICH IS THE VERSION THAT I THINK GOT ME INTO THIS JAZZ THING 55 YEARS AGO. IT'S ALSO SO REFRESHING FOR ANYONE TO COME AND PULL TUNES FROM THE BOXES-ABOUT A DOZEN WERE-INCLUDING GRAHAM BOND AND THE DIVINE ROBERTA FLACK. ALSO THANKS TO THE BASINGSTOKE CREW FOR ATTENDING AND ALL OF THOSE THERE FOR LENDING ME THEIR EARS. THE NEXT SESSION IS ON FEBRUARY 4 th. THANKS AGAIN FOR LISTENING-Jim
