Jump, Jive & Boogie Weekend – Sinah Warren, Hayling Island: 31/3/2006 - 3/4/2006

Saturday night brought us an enjoyable interpretation of boogie-woogie and R’n’B classics from Oo-Bop-Sh’bam, who kicked off the dancing with a tune emphasising their name, leaving it implanted in the brain for the whole evening. Jackson Sloan’s rich vocals led the way through a rollicking selection by Tiny Bradshaw, Rosco Gordon and Fats Waller, including “Breaking Up The House”and “Ain’t Misbehaving”, ably assisted by the rhythm section of Dave Lagando and Alan Savage on double bass and drums. Paul Garner’s fretwork was featured during “My Kinda Baby” (Larry Darnell), before handing the baton to James Lunn for some boogie-woogie piano during “Honey Hush” (Turner) and finally to Andy Dummett, who blew up a storm on tenor sax. They are definitely a band to watch out for in the future.
