The Tierra Buena Jazz Band - "Linger Awhile with The Tierra Buena Jazz Band"
Catalogue Note:
This super band, based near Coventry, has been going for nearly 50 years, still with three founder members. Their music covers a wide spectrum of traditional jazz styles, as the list of tune titles shows, and everything they play is done with great enthusiasm and good taste. An all-round excellent band, which really should be much more widely known. They had a cassette recorded about ten or so years ago but amazingly this is their first CD!
The tune titles are:- Bouncing Around, Some Of These Days, Faraway Blues, I Saw Stars, Frog-I-More Rag, Big Fat Ma And Skinny Pa, Paramount Scuffle, Linger Awhile, I’m Minding My Own Business, When I Come To The End Of My Journey, Oriental Man, For All We Know, Just Wait ‘til You See My Baby Do The Charleston, Saratoga Swing, I Lost My Girl From Memphis, Swing That Music. The line-up is Brian Bates cornet; Dave ‘Spud’ Taylor clarinet & tenor sax; Brian ‘Watty’ Wathen trombone; Dave Wagstaff banjo; Barry Potts bass; Al Sharpe drums. (72mins)
