Club Night 4th May 2021

 A splendid evening of musical enjoyment. In the first set we were entertained by Yvonne Moller on her Korg Pa3X arranger/keyboard. Next, Claudette Wheeler played the Clavinova in classical piano style. To finish the first set, Rob Powell played some lovely jazz standards from the 1920 - 1950's with composers such as: Harry Warren; Cole Porter;  Gerschwin; and Richard Rogers among others. Rob is an expert on the Yamaha Clavinova and arranger keyboards and so he was able to demonstrate the lovely rhythms and orchestrations of our new Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809.
After the raffle and a refreshments break, we were entertained firstly by a 13 year old card magician called Jacob Rawbone who is a neighbour of our guest artist. Some astounding sleight of hand was shown by Jacob - well done!
The guest artist for the evening was Darren Smith. Darren works for Music Works and was instrumental in facilitating our purchase of our state of the art Yamaha Clavinova CVP-809 late last year as he is the Retail General Manager for Music Works as well as an accomplished professional jazz pianist. A wonderful concert of varied light jazz music of the kind our members really enjoy.
All in all, a very satisfying evening of music spanning various genres and styles of play.
