Hi

Just found a website which has videos of the bar in Havana where I
heard the fabulous music, particularly of the women's band, and some
of the people I met.

The website generally is a pretty good source of information about
Havana.

Enjoy

Hi Guys



My Friend has just opened up a jazz club very near to Highbury and
Islington tube called Osso's and I happen to be singing there on

could make it.



Osso Jazz

www.ossojazz.com



Starts at 8:30 til

Entrance fee approx £6 (I think)

9th should anyone be down that way.



Love

Jo

Hi All

Just to remind you that our new vocal tutor - highly appreciated
Brigitte Baraha - will performing at a pre-Easter gig on Wednesday
March 19th.

The gig is at the Lord Hood and she will be backed by the Jennifer
Roberts Quartet, including Chris Boreham, Richard Wilsher, Ken Page and
George Bridges.

The gig starts at 8.30.p.m. - free admission and it will be great to
see you all.

The Lord Hood is in Creek Road, Greenwich, SE 10 near the Cutty Sark
DLR STation.

Hi all

The Spring Riverfont Festival is happening over the weekend of May 8th
to 13th.
As usual there is an all-dayer at the Lord Hood on Saturday May 10th,
so if you want an hour's slot - get in quick as some slots have already
gone.

Cheers

George

Hi All,
Wicken gone but not forgotten
St Mark's College, Audley End, Saffron Walden
3 miles north of Wicken
Revied dates Friday 31st October to Sunday 2nd November
see www.geocities.com/raybcljazz/St_Marks.html
more details to follow

All the best Ray Batson

Hi

Most of us will have known and loved Alan Jeanes, a tutor at CL Jazz
for over 20 years.  He is now in a nursing home, frail and with failing
eyesight but perky as ever in his dry way.  Jenny Jones and I visited
him last night, and spent an hour or two reminiscing in the local pub -
he still likes his tot of whisky.  He would love to see and hear from
CL Jazzers - visiting is flexible -but ring first to confirm.

Address is Elmwood   42 Southborough Road  Bickley  Bromley  BR1 2EN
and phone number 0208 289 7925.  He can be confused at times,but don't
be put off.

There is also a plan for a gig in the nursing home for Alan's small band
sometime in the near future to which all CL Jazzers will be invited -
watch this space.

Hi George, glad you had good time in Cuba. I can get plenty of gigs

Hi Folks

I had a fantastic time in Havana, meeting and sitting in with local
musicians. Would anyone going in the near future let me know as I
have some good recommendations for a family hospitality, a casa
particular in Old Havana( £12 a night with breakfast), a local bar
where you can hear live Cuban Son music all day etc. Also to let you
know what the musicians can't easily get and would appreciate as
gifts. And possibility to take some stuff over for me if practicable.

Hi Folks

I had a fantastic time in Havana, meeting and sitting in with local
musicians.   Would anyone going in the near future let me know as I
have some good recommendations for a family hospitality, a casa
particular in Old Havana( £12 a night with breakfast), a local bar
where you can hear live Cuban Son music all day etc.    Also to let you
know what the musicians can't easily get and would appreciate as
gifts.  And possibility to take some stuff over for me if practicable.
