My final outing of the Bury St. Edmunds Festival was to a lunchtime concert from The Dime Notes at the APEX today. It was pretty well attended. We were treated to a repertoire of hot swinging jazz, stomps, blueses, and forgotten gems of the era by musicians such as Jelly Roll Morton and James P Johnson.
The group features Chris Barber’s long-time clarinettist David Horniblow, U.S pianist and Morton specialist Andrew Oliver, and the unstoppable pulse of London’s knockout rhythm section, guitarist Dave Kelbie of Evan Christopher’s Django a la Creole fame, and bassist Tom Wheatley.
Great clarinet playing from David and rollocking piano playing from Andrew, who also acted as our guide to the music. They are well-worth listening to if they pass your way on tour.
