King of the rocking chair and patron of a posse ofgently swaying backing singers in floaty frocks— but will either of these attractions feature when Val’s ‘on the road‘ as we say in the rock world?
SATURDAY 31 Edinburgh

FRIDAY 23 Glasgow
I Terry Lightloot and His Band Mitchell Theatre. Granville Street. 227 5511. 8pm. £10. The theatre‘s short jazz season continues with the veteran British trad clarinetist and saxophonist, but the prices seem a bit steep for a player who is notof the first rank. even in British terms.
Edinburgh
I Macao Parker and Roots Revisited Queen‘s Hall. Clerk Street, 6682019. 8.30pm. £7.50—£9.50; concessions £4 on door if available. The ex-J . B . ‘s alto man teams up with his former cohorts Pee Wee Ellis and Fred Wesley in a funky, hard-drivin1,soul-jazz outfit.

Edinburgh
I John Barnes and Jack Finlay Trio Jazz At The Tron. Tron Cellar Bar, 9Huntcr Square, High Street.2201550. 9pm—midnight (doors 8.30pm). £4 (£3.50). This new club is settling in nicely, despite being on the small side. and I hope it will also be on the crowded side forthis visit by one of the best mainstream saxophonists on the British scene. A fixture in Humphrey Lyttelton‘s band for donkey‘s years. Barnes can be a caustic performer as well as a mellow one, and should bring out the best in the Jack Finlay Trio.
