Jazz in the Green ? Continues to Swing with Don Weller
The recent inaugural Jazz in the Green event at the Social Hall in Englefield Green was a stunning success as the Surrey Jazz Orchestra played great big band tunes to a packed audience. To follow this, the Jazz in the Green organisers are delighted to announce that on Friday May 21st May one of the top tenor saxophonists in the UK - Don Weller - will be leading his Quintet in the next concert to be staged at the Social Hall.
Alan Crouse, organiser of Jazz in the Green said ? we are delighted to be hosting one of the top flight UK musician?s here in Englefield Green. It goes to show that we are determined that the Jazz in the Green series will yield an extremely high calibre of entertainment in the local community.? He continued ? we are also keen to enjoy different flavours of jazz so that hopefully we can appeal to differing tastes?.
Don Weller?s career started when he played Mozart's clarinet concerto in the Fairfield Hall, Croydon as a fourteen year old. He went on to take up Tenor Saxophone, with lessons from Kathy Stobart and formed his now almost legendary group "Major Surgery" which ran for 9 years playing his own compositions. He then formed a quartet with drummer Bryan Spring as well as being a regular member of Stan Tracey's Octet. Don has always played, always run his own under worked quartet, always written music of great quality and has always been undervalued. He has however also always been a great inspiration to younger players, who have sometimes gone on to gain the sort of acclaim that Don has missed.
In aid of Local Charities tickets are available ? either at Blacklocks, 8 Victoria Street, Englefield Green, via Alan on 01784 432813 or on the door on the night of Friday 21st May. The Gig - held at the Social Hall ,Harvest Road, Englefield Green starts at 8pm, and finishes at 11pm.The doors and bar will open at 7.30pm.
