China Boy - Bob Erwig session. 1987
I always look for something out of the ordinary. At this afternoon concert featuring several Toronto jazz bands I was able to organize a little jam session. Jim Galloway, the organizer of the event played his soprano saxophone, Brian Ogilvie, who played that afternoon with his quartet joined us on the tenor saxophone. Our Climax banjo player Jacques Vincken played banjo. An old friend since the early days in Canada was pianist Ron Sorley and we had a tremendously talented tubaplayer. We left drums out of this session because with piano, banjo and tuba a somewhat different rhythm feel can make a unique atmosphere which sometimes get different creative juices flowing by the frontline musicians. I haven’t seen and heard this clip for more than 15 years and I like it. My wife Ilse filmed this with our then brandnew video 8 camera.
