Music
Paddy Fitzallan & Friends @ Perth Jazz Society
STAR veteran Paddy Fitzallan (trumpet) is joined by Russell Holmes (piano), Phil Hatton (tenor sax/clarinet), Mike Wiese (baritone & tenor sax), Bill McAllister (trombone), Dijon Summers (bass), Rick Alderson (drums). It’s quite a group, but Paddy’s used to grooving with the best! The line-up of famous artists he’s been associated with over the years is stunning. Managers have relied on Paddy Fitzallan – as featured guest soloist, conductor, musical director or organiser with such luminaries as Louis Armstrong and Frank Sinatra. “Sinatra, he called me Curly,” admits Paddy ruefully, stroking today’s pate. There were so many more – Nat King Cole, Ella Fitzgerald, Mel Torme, Dickie Valentine, Johnny Ray, Tiny Tim, Lana Cantrell, Diana Trask, Max Bygraves, Roger Miller, Marlene Dietrich, Liza Minnelli, Buddy Rich, Wayne Newton, Judy Garland, Gene Krupa, Buddy De Franco, Shirley Bassey, June Christy, Frankie Laine, Ray Stevens and Roy Orbison!
