| Ref: | Band / Artist: | Album Title: | Notes: |
| PKCD-330 | MARTIN BENNETT'S OLD GREEN RIVER BAND | "Don't Give Up The Ship" | In the few years that this band has been in existence they have built for themselves a great reputation for hard-driving and exciting New Orleans jazz. Their reputation extends well beyond British shores into Europe, and in the past year or so the band has played in clubs in Germany, Denmark, Holland and Belgium. Their style of music is particularly well-suited to the sort of club venue found at the Keswick Jazz Festival and this session, recorded at the Labour Club during the 2008 festival, was one of their best. The line-up, unchanged since their last CD (PKCD-315), is David Copperwaite tpt; Howard Murray reeds; John Finch tb; Martin Bennett pno; Mac Mac Donald bjo; Jim Swinnerton bs; Stuart Smith dms. and the tunes are:- Down In Honky Tonk Town, Yellow Dog Blues, That Same Old Love, S’Wondeful, Sweet Louise, At A Georgia Camp Meeting, Together, I Want A Butter And Egg Man, I Gotta Find That Girl, June Night, Linger Awhile, Don’t Give Up The Ship. (76min). |
| PKCD-331 | THE JOHN DUNMORE BOOGIE BAND | "The Domino Effect" | John Dunmore is a versatile band leader with a great love of the many styles of music originating from New Orleans. His previous CD for P.E.K. was by his New Orleans Band (PKCD-234 “Uptown Bumps”). This new CD by his Boogie Band features the R ‘n’ B music exemplified by Fats Domino in the 1950s and ‘60s. The CD was recorded live under less than ideal conditions in Northampton in April 2008. The band line-up is John Dunmore vocals, clarinet and also sax; Tony Sketchley tenor sax; Roy Hawkesford lead guitar; Chris Reilley keyboard; Glynn Murray bass guitar; Dave Rooker drums.

| PKCD-332 | BRIAN CARRICK'S ALGIERS STOMPERS | "SPIRITUALS & Old Timey Music" | In November 2007 Brian’s band played a concert in the St Mary’s Church, Ottery St Mary, Devon. Ottery St Mary is a pretty Devon town with a truly magnificent parish church, which was modelled on Exeter Cathedral. The organisers had gone to great lengths providing food and a bar at the back of the church, and an audience of several hundred enjoyed an evening of great N.O. music. The band line-up is Peter Wright trumpet; Brian Carrick clarinet & tenor sax; Chas Hudson trombone; Gabrielle Gad piano; Malcolm Hurrell banjo; Bill Cole double bass; John Baker drums. The tunes are:- Over The Waves, He’ll Have To Go, Smile Darn Ya Smile, Bring It On Home To Grandma, Have You Ever Been Lonely, The Old Rugged Cross, I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate, At Sundown, It’s All Over Now, Is It True What They Say About Dixie, God Will Take Care Of You, Kid Thomas Boogie.
