Playing the saxophone The Cafe Trio grown to Octet down to Sextet

I'll do that later when I'm near the pc

 

[Tenor Viol]

A number of Café Ensemble members met up at Manchester Jazz Festival this evening for Group S, which is Andy Scott's group. Some amazing players, obviously Andy Scott on tenor, but Krzysztof Urbanski (soprano sax), Simon Willescroft (alto/soprano saxes), Dave Graham (alto sax), Mike Hall (tenor sax), Rob Cope (tenor/baritone saxes), John Helliwell (tenor sax), Chris Caldwell (baritone sax), Carl Raven (bass/baritone saxes), Gwilym Simcock (piano), James Pusey (guitar), Laurence Cottle (bass guitar), Elliott Henshaw (drums).

Not all of the music to my taste, but some amazing playing and compositions - everything was written by various members of the group.

I met up with @Jeanette before hand and we had afternoon tea. Very civilised.

By the way, you could never get away with anything: I met at least 6 other people I knew, including MD and various members of the MWO on top of the 3 other Café members...

Brilliant night and lovely afternoon tea.🙂

John Helliwell blew me away with his solo sax piece, fantastic tone and so much sensitivity and expression in his playing loved it

Beat me to it, early bird catches the worm

He wrote it like that on purpose to encourage that response... You don't think that a logophile like TV would have naively written "on top of three other Café members" do you? 😛 Hahahahahahaha!!

Evidently I need to be more thorough in my disambiguation lest any remaining anacoluthons result in misinterpretation

My sentiments too 😉

If I didn't have to look up everything other word I might agree.

It was almost a single entendre.

PS Although there are other layers of meaning that are probably best left unexplored.

Thank you so much! I would love to!

I think you mean that I can drop the children off with you and send the human to her grandparents! 😛 The other one will be safely at university.

That'll teach me to read them lol. I just saw a quote and nothing else so assumed an error. 🙂
