More groups like this could do well to learn from the effect of this clip. With well-thought filming, editing, timing and nothing more than the band members and their instruments (plus one or two fun effects), and very little attempt at zazz or mugging, and clever, minimal elegance, a really fun music video has been put together that matches the voice of the arrangement and the band.
Drummer Brian Innes is a mirror image of a very young Woody Allen. This is made even more poignant when you realize Woody's hobby is playing this kind of music.
Line-up (L-R): Count Clifford de Bevan - piano Captain Cephas Howard – trumpet Martin Fry (aka Franklin D Paverty) – sousaphone John Gieves-Watson - banjo Ray Whittam –saxes John R T Davis (aka Sheik Wadi al Yadounir) – trombone Brian Innes - Grand Jazz Percussion Kit Alan Swainston Cooper (aka Henry MacHooter) – soprano sax and clarinet - plus of course Whispering Paul McDowell on vocals
does he really say what i think he says at 1.25 to 1. 28??! help me out ,,, or is it just my dirty mind???!! i await any reply , especially from psychologists who may be viewing...................
I saw these guys and drank at the bar with them at the Downs Hotel Hassocks, over 40 years ago. This was a time of Rock & Roll on the one hand and Traditional Jazz on the other, but everybody seemed to like the Temperance seven, regardless!!!
Just enjoyed watching Alan Swainston Cooper playing the clarinet, a sadly missed dear friend. All our love to his family, you are always deep in our thoughts, XXXX
I'm not totally sure but I think he was Captain Cephas Howard or something like that. What I'm struck by is what brilliant musicians they all were. Theyreally brought 1920s music to life. Indeed I think their versionsof "You're Driving Me Crazy" and "Pasadena" are better than any original 1920s version and this one certainly is.
Fabulous. I played banjo at Your Fahters Mustache for years. Can anyone tell me about the banjo played on the video—specially made? Thanks, Jeff Ollswang
John Watson, the banjo player, may still be seen with Bill Posters Will Be Banned at the Bull at Barnes on a Thursday each month. He still plays a similar cello banjo but without the fiddle peghead. I asked him about it and he seemed very vague - he was equally vague about the one you see in the video. He's still agreat player though.
Thanks for your response. THe band has a terrific sound, especially the banjo. The 'cello banjo' has a particularly rich sound! Again, thanks for your time and consideration, Jeff Ollswang
Fantastic, any more? I was lucky enough to see them (one or two original membersI think) live at Phyllis Court, Henley on Thames in the summer of 2005.
and they're still going. Well, two of the original are still in the current line-up. Cliff Bevan (playing piano here I believe) is now giving tuba lessons to my son.
Hi, This recording is the 1962 or 1964? I believe thta is 1962. I got the album with others recordings from the great Temps... "Sahara", "Charleston", "Black Bottom". Thanks for its.
John Gieves Watson looks so young on this Sean. I saw him recently and if you keep playing the darn banjo you could end up looking the same... aaarrrggghhhhh. Syd
Brill!
