The Viv Rodd Quintet

at the

Sea Fusion Jazz Festival

This quintet is a different kettle of fish...To use the words of the immortal  poet, it "kicks ass!"...We normally have Bob Tinker on trumpet/flugal, but because Bob has up-sticks and moved to France, guitarist Steve Turner is the fifth member....There are links to the cd tracks below...

Personnel:  Steve Turner/gtr; Bill Walker/bass; Myself; Terry Rodd/drms, and Viv"88"Rodd - our leader - on keys...(Yep; they're brothers)

The quintet's cd pages...Wait for "Lonely Woman" to stop...(or, if you must - clicking "ESC" will stop it straight away!)..then click these links to hear the tracks...
Babanango:
Winter's Calling Song:
Green in Blue:  Rhythm section feature
Confusion:   Not uploaded yet!
Trek Of The Desert Camel:
Tango Time   A shade tongue-in-cheek in places, this one!
Tinks:
TIP:   If the sound is jerky on the faster numbers, let it jerk happily to itself for a few seconds, then stop and re-start it...It's a "buffering" issue which will generally right itself on the re-start...

The quintet - with Bob Tinker - playing the Cliffhead Jazz Club...

Pete Kubrik-Townsend is on bass here...Terry is somewhere behind the cymbal...

 

 

The cover pages of John Knight's cd...Buy it, you'll enjoy!...John played every instrument on the entire cd - except for the my alto, which only features on "Lonely Woman"...This makes John a damned useful musician in anyone's language...

If "Lonely Woman" has stopped, and you'd like to hear it again, click                                                           HERE
