RETURN OF THE ' TEMPERANCE SEVEN
Fans at trad jazz, and lovers at old lashioned comedy can be united in delight that The Temperance Seven are back in town. Or rather back in the palm courts of the Brunton Hall. Musselburgh. When was itthey were numberone in the charts—sorry, hit parade. with ‘Pasadena'? Early Sixties? I vaguely remember. Anyway the whole daily lot oi them, megaphone amplilied vocals. sousaphone solos. families at saxophones. ukeleles and swanee whistles are syncopaling away on the 3rd. How about lunch in their company at the Harbour Arts. Irvine on the tst?
To be applauded is the management at Edinburgh‘s re-vamped Barony Bar in Broughton Street. From Thursday to Sunday they present live jazz, usually two bands in two sessions. one timed to appeal to the one-alter-work and the laterat9pm. Music ranges irom Melanie O'Reilly‘s cool vocalsto nee-bop groups. The decor is simple, tastelul and the music is tree.
Since stepping down irom his job as
Platiorm‘s director, Roger Spence has set up a complementary organisation and will be running Jazz Fridays at Edinburgh‘s Oueen‘s Hall. The season kicks oil on the 14th with the Blues, as sung by Joe Louis Walker’s band. Highlights at the season include an October concert with tenorist Art Themen in 3 Stan Tracey group. and a Decembervisit by Jan Garbarek, inthe illustrious company at Eberhard Weber and Nana Vasconceles. Details next
