Very pleasant jazz gig - loads of standards

Mini-MOB took to the Kings Arms in Hitchin again tonight. Rhythm section lead by Mike O'Neill, with Thomas on bass and John on drums. Front line me on alto, James 'Youth' Harold on trombone and Dave Marks on trumpet. A nice gig that'll never make me rich but is very entertaining to play.

There are some people that you just sound great with, and I love working with Dave and Youth.

The set was all standards, with Nicki Lawrence singing a few along the way. She has an amazing voice and it's great to play behind her.

Tenor player Laurie turned up and did a couple after the break, largely to prepare for his music college audition on Friday. He'll do fine. All in all, a lovely gig and the punters seemed to like what we were doing.
