Jazz Festival
T the seventh Festival of Jazz in Wellington, The Listener joined the audience and jsettled back for an evening of accomplished playing. On stage Don Richardson’s Band looked cool and relaxed in their blue sweaters, and the show started with the band in its usual good form. The crowd, on the other hand, was not its usual self, and turned out to be the noisiest of the year. The Dixie group showed some ingenuity this time and added a B flat bass, very old and battered, and a guitar to their ensemble. Mike Gibbs’s numbers on the trumpet were obviously highlights for the audience, and Dorsey Cameron (trombone) and Laurie Lewis and Johnny Williams (saxophones) were also popular soloists. Two vocal numbers with new soloists were well receivedthe Vikings, a male quartet, and Johnny Summers, who will probably climb much higher in the next few, months. Selections from this show can be heard from 2YD on Thursday, September 6, at 9.0 p.m., and later from other stations. ein rt erm ee en a a rem me me ee cence ae
