Last Thursday we had Elaina Hoss entertaining us at The Carreg with her beautiful voice. It really was a fantastic evening, once again, brilliantly organised by Declan and the Span people, but, unfortunately after a few dining cancellations wasn’t brilliantly attended. You may recall that Elaina was meant to have played at The Carreg a couple of weeks ago but snowfall prevented that. I must say I really enjoyed the evening, and it really was a shame that it wasn’t as well attended as it deserved to be, especially with the earlier snow cancellation. I am sure that all who attended had a wonderful time too.

I do know that I am guilty of not promoting this on the blog fully, especially after the earlier cancellation and I will talk to Elaina and her mum Sara about coming to The Carreg for a more full on event in the near future. I would also like to apologise to Declan and the excellent SpanJazz team for this poor ommission. I really do appreciate what you all do for us and Jazz in west Wales in general.

As for February’s Jazz instalment, read on….

Polish trumpeter Janusz Carmello is visiting Wales for a short tour and coming to Narberth on Wednesday 10th. Feb.
He spent 7 years in Milan before moving to become a figure on the London scene.
His style is influenced by Clifford Brown and Freddie Hubbard, and he’s worked with Charles Mingus, Eddie “Lockjaw” Davis,Al Cohn, Bud Freeman and many others in his forty year career. Janusz Carmello is a great rarity – a trumpet player who has absorbed the harmonic lessons of modern jazz without losing the lyrical beauty of the best mainstream players. Carmello, plays trumpet and pocket trumpet, is accompanied by a fine rhythm section of The John Gibbon Trio
