At the Silvershine Jazz
Club we aim to bring you some of the best Jazz from the
West Midlands, the UK and overseas, whilst also using
our Jazz nights to bring on new talent from in and
around the area. In so doing we hope to maintain the
ethos and the standards set by Andy Hamilton MBE, the man who
first brought Jazz to Bearwood Corks Club.
♬ Bon Accord ♬
24th Jan
Bon Accord is a truly wonderful Gypsy Jazz
outfit, that plays toe-tappingly sweet music inspired by the music of
Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli’s Quintet of the Hot Club of
France.
The difference is that whilst most Gypsy Jazz
bands today consist entirely of stringed instruments. Django, however,
also recorded with accordionist Gus Viseur and clarinettist Hubert
Rostaing. Bon Accord follows this lead with a line-up of accordion,
clarinet, guitar and double bass, playing both well-known and more
contemporary Gypsy Jazz numbers plus French and Latin pieces.
Come, listen and let the
music warm the cockles of your heart!

Gone Too Soon - James Renford
At the Silvershine Jazz Club we were deeply saddened and more than a little surprised to hear of the death of saxophonist James Renford on January 9th. Seen here playing with Fred Webb and the Blue Notes on one of Andy Hamilton’s Jam Night's, James also played the club in his own right, using the occasion to showcase a lot of local talent.
As well as being a prodigiously talented musician James was one of the good guys. Tributes have been rolling in from across the music industry, incuding Steel Pulse, Roy Hemmings and the Edwin Starr website.
Dudes of Jazz
I was listening to Pick of the Week on Radio 4
recently, when something caught my ear. It was this interview with Alex
Polack and Archie Tulk which originally went out on Radio 3’s Jazz Now,
comong from Soweto Kinch’s Flyover Festival, and it was selected as one
of the week’s radio highlights by Liz Barclay.
Andy Hamilton and the Silvershine Club both get a good mention, so, Alex
and Archie, let’s hope you’re back on the Silvershine stage very soon
indeed!
