Glasgow
I Big Band Session Society of Musicians. 73 Berkeley Street. 221 6112. 2—5pm. £1. The Strathelyde Youth Jazz Orchestra alternate with the Tim Barella Big Band.
Edinburgh
I Fionna Duncan (luartet Jazz at The Tron. Tron Cellar Bar. 9 Hunter Square. High Street. 220 1550. 9pm. £3 (£2). The singer made her name on the traditional and Dixieland end of the jazz spectrum with bands like the Clyde Valley Stompers. but is looking to move into a more mainstream. standards-oriented mode these days. She could hardly have made a better choice of piano player for such a project than Brian Kellock. and with John Russell providing rhythm guitar. Ronnie Rae on bass. and Tony McLennan on drums. there should be no shortage of swing. It's a shame it coincides with the final night of the Leith Festival. but 1 know where I‘ll be.
I Leith Jan Festival Today‘s gigs are listed below; day time sessions run from 12.30—2pm. evening sessions from 7.30—1 1pm. There will also be a number of marching bands on the streets from 2.15—6.30pm. Admission is free.

Edinburgh
I Alan Barnes and Brian Kellock Trio Jazz at The Tron. Tron Cellar Bar. 9 Hunter Square. High Street. 220 1550. 9pm. £4 (£3.50). 1 can highly recommend this chance to hear saxophonist Alan Barnes. a player who is equally at home in mainstream jazz (he had a lengthy stint with Humphrey Lyttelton's band which ended late last year to allow him to concentrate on a solo career) and in a range of considerably more modern styles. and is a strong. imaginative player in arty of them. He isjoined by Brian Kellock at the piano in what should be a fascinating meeting of tnusical minds to end the current Edinburgh Jazz Project season at the Tron. The EJP will take a break in July. but return with gigs during the festival. a prelude to their own autumn season in September.
FRIDAY 25
Glasgow
I Steve Hamilton Guartet Downstairs at The 13th Note. 80 Glassford Street. 930—] 1.30pm. £3.50 (£2.50). Pianist Steve Hamilton is currently taking a route pioneered by Totmny Smith. and is studyingjazz in America. He is squeezing in a few gigs over the summer before returning to the States. and is well worth catching in this setting. with Kevin MacKenzie on guitar. Brian Shiels on bass. and Tom Bancroft on drums.
Edinburgh
I Napier University Big Band Queen‘s Hall. Clerk Street. 668 2019. 7.45pm. £4 (£2). The big band play classic jazz by Basie and Ellington. and Glenn Miller- style swing. in a concert shared with the classical Chamber Ensemble.
