THATS AWESOME !!!!!!

[Jazzsaxman1]

Yes sir! :) love that quote

[c4rv3r]

Ha! @ 1:30 you quote "It Don't Mean A Thing If It Ain't Got That Swing"...! Must have been a great gig:)

[crazydaisydoo]

Well spotted, you can play it over most G minor blues, great if you get stuck :-)

[Jazzsaxman1]

And he played that inserted melody rather staccato. Which was cool, but i especially love the way the pianist answered him while comp-ing with short chords as well. Very tasteful.

[c4rv3r]

This is sooo relaxed, soo soothing and yet sooo swinging... I could listen to this all day long!!!

[ulrichhoebler]

A band that swings in such a relaxed way, a sunny day, nice people in an English garden, good drinks and a birthday to celebrate: this could almost be a definition of paradise!

Thanks again Matthew for another fine video.

[crazydaisydoo]

Cheers Ulli, it was indeed the perfect day. Shame that our keyboard player Mary is off for 6 weeks after a hand operation, so we are turning gigs down at the moment!! arggghh!

[ubizmo]

Smooth and easy, great stuff.

You need a cupholder attachment for your microphone boom to hold your container of 'rinse-aid'. Too much bending over isn't good for the back ;-)

[crazydaisydoo]

Caught out once again. This set was a two-pinter, which is not bad going. There is nothing like beer to get a reed going IMHO

[YaniT991]

Two pints is pretty good mileage. Which do you find gives the sweeter sound, best bitter or draught? I find a hoppy pils is very good for that rock 'n' roll sound :-)

[crazydaisydoo]

This was quite a hoppy but light bitter. My personal favourite is a nce belgian blonde (beer) Leffe or similar...

[StradMan37]

Very well-swung - yet another favorite tune to hear & play.

Loved the brushwork of Phil "Mr. Hands" Edgell on drums!

[flyhalf2]

I enjoyed that Matthew :-)

Nice combo you have there and I liked the 'if it ain't got the swing' bit you put in LOL

[phily880]

Good stuff. Keep it up!
