​Jam session review of Sunday 15th September - the one that didn't "get published"

As postulated in last week's drivel, we started early, and, as it happened, quietly, back at the Cornerstone Hotel, drinking hole of choice for such gentry as hang about in that part of Port Melbourne's glamour strip, its cool night airs turned acrid with the fumes of the stolen cars and conflagrated tobacco shops which are Bay Street's answer to the bright lights of the City.

22 musos turned up for this one, and a fine and friendly session it turned out to be.

Among the regulars:

Ben Stewart (guitarist) who last played with the jammers at Wangaratta, and at Castlemaine

John Perri  (drums) who put in a solid session at a level of competence which would not be out of place if the rest of us were a bit better...

Adam Fforde (bass) who unobtrusively drove the whole shebang along - as a good bassist should.

Pick of the day, for mine anyway, was the combined effort of the saxophone brigade - the Good Captain, Jeff the Ancient, and Cardinal Calamatta, getting one in whilst the singers weren't looking, and damn good it sounded...
