With the variety of lead players we use with the Bridge City Jazz Band we don't see as much of Geoff Power these days so its exciting to have him back on trumpet lead at Club Ashfield this coming Friday 20th March 2015 featuring with a piano player we like to have at the Club...Monique Lysiak and playing drums this week again Joel Davis who always smoothly fits in the the band.....
The usual regulars make up the seven piece Bridge City Jazz Band...Colin Davies on double bass, myself Dennis Quinlan on banjo, Colin Beal on reeds and John Bates on trombone and vocals.....
Club Ashfield always provides a great nights entertainment of traditional jazz, great for dancing and great for listening to.....

The Bridge City Jazz Band is joined for this night by the two "birthday boys" Kevin Goodey turning 75 on clarinet and Chris Gildersleeve turning 55 on banjo.....David Stevens is on the Club's grand piano and Joel Davis on drums as our special guest with the usual band...John Bates on trombone/vocals, Colin Beal reeds, Colin Davies on double bass and myself organising the function and playing some banjo--Dennis Quinlan...
These are always super nights of traditional jazz with some selected sit-in musos who pop by playing during the evening, a large A3 birthday card for each of the guys and a big 45 x 45cm cake to share with all the audience, yum yum!
