A MULTI-TALENTED daddy of jazz is set to play a festive special gig at The Brewery on Thursday, December 11, courtesy of Kendal Jazz Club As the festive season approaches, the Jazz Club has asked Syd Patterson to put together a special band for its last bash of the year.
The accomplished performer is a father figure to aspiring jazz musicians locally, being able to draw on a vast fund of professional experience performing with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Norman Wisdom and a young Shirley Bassey.
At his Thursday gig he will be featuring Jimmy Thompson - tenor sax and clarinet - and Jim Sizzle' Scaife on drums. Both are from the Blackpool area and have not previously been heard at the club. Guitar will be provided by Furness maestro Brian Parkinson, double bass by Kendal's own Roy Cansdale, and, of course, the main attraction will be the redoubtable Mr Patterson, playing trumpet and piano and singing with a verve remarkable for a man of his years.
