Here are Scott Hamilton and Clark Tracey at last night’s Herts Jazz gig in Welwyn, caught in a moment of concentration by Melody McLaren, whose photo-archive of the gig – also with John Pearce and Andy Cleyndert – is HERE.

For the programme for the next two weeks, mind the (age) gap – it’s 64 years. This Sunday 20th trumpeter/composer Laura Jurd will perform the music from the album Landing Ground.On 27th January club patron, legend, Stan Tracey CBE will be perfoming music from an album yet to be recorded with his quartet, including saxophonist Simon Allen.
