Another fabulous jazz jam session at the Carnival Arts Centre in Luton (just behind St Mary’s Church). The special guest today was a keyboard / Fender Rhodes player called Greg Foat, who charmed everyone with great renditions of “Penny Lane” and “Day Tripper”.
He’s just come back from Sweden, where he recorded some rather lush music which involved a sexy 70’s style backing choir. I tried to buy the cd from him but it had sold out. I’ll be trying to get it online from Jazzman Records here: http://www.jazzmanrecords.co.uk
I had the pleasure to be let up on to the stage and sang a couple of Christmas tunes. Then there was a guy from Harlington who played a Japanese flute called a shakuhachi, followed by a lovely Spanish lady called Salome, who played classical flute.
