79 year old Adrian Von Saucken is the only remaining member of the Wuppertal based Seatown Seven but his enthusiasm matched that of his excellent Band on a breezy but dry Summer afternoon of Jazz from the Classic New Orleans sound to Early Swing.
The Blues was welcome for me, including Jelly roll Morton’s ‘Winin’ Boy Blues’ – recently brought back into vogue via Hugh Laurie. Sidney bechet’s ‘Petit Fleur and of course ‘Panama Rag’.
All in all a perfect start to the Summer Season ‘On the Roof’ that continues in a fortnights time (14 June) with the Balkan Pop of Hop Stop Banda
