Cheltenham Jazz Festival - 07/05/2007
May Day Bank Holiday saw Marti taking part in his first Jazz Festival. The venue was Cheltenham Town Hall and the show was a sell out!
The audience appeared to be made up mostly of jazz aficionados who were suitably impressed, giving Marti a fantastic reception and a standing ovation! Marti really was on top form, sounding better than ever and his humour had the audience in stitches! The set list was the same as the previous jazz gigs but the audience were treated to an extra song -
- I'm Glad There Is You
- In A Sentimental Mood
- A Child Is Born
- You Don't Know What Love Is
- You Must Believe In Spring
- I've Got You Under My Skin
- Summer Wind •Lonely Girl
- Take A Letter Miss Jones
- Where Or When
- Lady With The Mandolin
- I'm Glad There Is You
- Tell Me All About It
- When The World Was Young
Once again Marti was backed by a very talented group of musicians
- Jim Watson - piano
- Antony Kerr - vibraphone
- John Parricelli - guitar
- Jeremy Brown - bass
- Chris Dagley - drums
- Hugh Wilkinson - percussion
Jim deserves a special mention as his playing was incredible and the banter between him and Marti made for quite a formidable double act! The show was over far too quickly. It seemed that Marti had thoroughly enjoyed himself as had his audience!
