Having recovered from three triumphant shows at Ronnie Scott’s at the end of last month, Snowboy & The Latin Section is back in action on Saturday, with a gig Up North. We hope to be back in Soho again before long.
The Duke Ellington Sacred Concert with the Blue Planet Orchestra and Hertfordshire Chorus at St Albans Cathedral was a fine and rare event, with the added novelty of this trombone playing the Bruckner Mass in E Minor without a licence.
Devotees of both (or either) of these bands may be interested in the newly-updated playlists on the little-known trombone poetry YouTube Channel, a kind of archaeological site.
Next week’s trombone poetry outburst will be in Rotherhithe, where those gathered will be pondering the theme of Celestial Bodies. Astrologers beware.
