I 8.8. King Glasgow Royal Concert Hall. 2 Sauchiehall Street. 8pm. £l2--£20. ()nly Carol Kidd can claim to be more of a festival regular than the great Chicago bluesman. There won‘t be anything you haven‘t heard before. and it‘s maybe getting more than a little worn at the edges. but the King of the blues just keeps on rolling.
I Strathclyde Youth Jazz Orchestra with Bobby Watson McEwans 80/- ()1d Fruitmarket. Albion Street. 7.30pm. £6 (£4). The traditional linking of the SYJ() with the festival's composer-in- residence. which in this case means a re-union with saxman Bobby Watson. who worked with the band on a previous visit with outstanding

I Carol Kidd McEwans 8()/- Old Fruitmarket. Albion Street. 7.30pm. £12 (£10). Back on home ground again. Carol will no doubt treat us to the odd tune frotn her recent Crazy About Gershwin set amid the usual favourites.
I Byron Wallen Ouartet
City Cafe Bar. Bell Street. 8pm. £7 (£5). The trumpeter is highly regarded on the London scene. btit his one Scottish appearance — at Mayfest in 1993 — was inconclusive. and bedevilled with sound problems. This a better

. FRIDAY 8
I Joe Henderson Ouartet with Bheki Mseleku Mcliwans 80/- ()1d
Fruitmarket. Albion
3 Street. 7.30pm. £14 (£12). Joe Henderson's
i appearances here have
.. been infrequent over the
years. and this
combination of his
working trio — with
George Mraz on bass and
Al Foster on drums - and
; pianist Mseleku could be a real winner. See
preview. I Roy Ayers’s Ubiquity McEwans 80/- ()1d
Fruitmarket. Albion
Street. 10.30pm. £10 (£8). Darling of the dance-floor crowd. the vibraphonist was making a fashionable mix ofjazz. soul. funk and rap long before it was
i fashionable. DJ Nick
Peacock provides support. I Phil Bancroft Octet City Cafe Bar. Bell Street. 8pm. £7 (£5). A new venture front the experimentally-inclined saxophonist. which will feature an idiomatically wide-ranging new work completed with the aid of a commission from the Scottish Arts Council.
I
THOMAS CHAPlN
l It anyone in the programme is likely to provoke a
puzzled ‘who?’ from even reasonably well-inlonned jazz tans, it is surely New York saxophonist Thomas Chapin. His booking is the result of a link tonned with the
Knitting Factory, a radical New York venue/record label
I with a reputation for presenting the unexpected. Chapin is not quite as left-field as many of the club’s denizens, but nor is he as mainstream as his period of employment with Lionel Hampton might suggest. He travels with his own trio, and ought to be worth
checking out.

(£12). A first-ever
Scottish appearance for
the great percussionist and composer. See preview.
I Brian Kellock Trio City Cafe Bar. Bell Street.
8pm. £7 (£5 ). Brian is the first featured artist at the festival. although that
largely seems to mean that they have gathered
together the various gigs i lte was playing in any case. and tried to make thetn look like a planned series. liithcr way. it is good to hear him as often as possible.
I Kidsamonium Ramshorn Kirk. lngram Street. 1—5pm. £3 (£1). The afternoon session of Clandemonium offers a child-centred environment. arid music to match.
I Clandemonium Jazz Ceilidh Ramshorn Kirk. Ingram Street. 9pm—lam. £5 (£3). Jazz-folk-ethnic
Street. 7.30pm. £10 (£8). I missed the saxophonist's appearance in last year's Festival. but by all , accounts it was a fine 1
