 Celebrating 3 years of our weekly jazz gig at Relais Cooden Beach Hotel A recent survey in the “i” newspaper posed the question: ‘Do you like or dislike jazz?’ and these are the results.9% hate jazz. 19% dislike it. 41% neither like or dislike. 22% like it. And 6% love jazz! Presumably, since you signed up for this newsletter, you are one of the 6%! Congratulations! And thank you!It would be interesting to see what results they would get if they asked about other kinds of music – folk, rap, rock’n’roll etc. And it begs the question, why was jazz singled out? All of which brings to mind a quote from the brilliant and famously irrascible jazz drummer Buddy Rich. As he was being wheeled down to theatre for major surgery the nurse in charge leaned over him before sedation and asked ‘Mr Rich, are you allergic to anything?’He looked up at her and replied ‘Yeah. Country and Western music.’ Check out our listings below, but first indulge yourself in a little nostalgia as we bring you photographic evidence of what went on at Splash Point in May. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * PREVIOUSLY SEEN AND HEARD @splashpointjazz last month  Neal & Oz Dechaine at The Old Plough, Seaford  Neal with guest Alex Eberhard (gtr/vox) at Relais Cooden  Neal and Sue Richardson at the Amex Stadium for the Seahaven Business Awards   Sue Richardson (vox/tpt/flgl) at SPJC Seaford (with Neal, Andy Panayi, Andy Hamill, Sam Glasson)  Neal at the Archduke jazz club in London (new venue to us)   Freddie Gavita at SPJC Eastbourne with Mark Edwards (keys), Andy Panayi (guest sax), Oz Dechaine (bass), Mez Clough (dms) * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * THE LISTINGS @splashpointjazz N.B.
