CHAZ JANKEL - JAZZ CAFE, CAMDEN 19/11/10

Friday November 19th 2010 found me in the Jazz Cafe, Camden for a rather special evening to see Chaz Jankel do an amazing gig in support of his latest album The Submarine Has Surfaced

As you can see from the Set list below, Chaz and his brilliant band ensemble played alot of material from the new album whose guest vocalists Alex Watson, Steven Tart, Natalia Scott and Blockheads singer Derek Hussey join Chaz through out the evening.

Highlights of the set for me, were Chaz classics "Glad To Know You" which kick started proceedings, "Number One", "Get Myself Together" and the wonderful  "Ai No Corrida" which Quincy Jones later covered though certainly not the definitive version by any means !!

Chaz inevitably played a couple of Ian Dury & The Blockheads numbers in the shape of "Reasons To Be Cheerful" and "Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick" joined onstage by fellow Blockhead John Turnbull and again Derek Hussey

Chaz had mentioned during the show that last week he was suffering with the Flu and nearly cancelled the gig - I was so glad he didn't as this was surely GIG OF 2010 !!!

There is promise of further shows next year so watch this space !
