Becky Rose: Come What May (The Yardbird Jazz Club, Birmingham)
for information and free downloads
After the worst journey we've had anywhere so far, 3 hours to get to Birmingham and it usually takes 45 minutes!
Worcester was a battle to get out of, M5 was stop/start for ages but then it took about an hour to crawl down Hagley Road, then we got caught in the queuing traffic going to see Muse and finally the satnav would have to have Sonic The Hedgehog mode to launch us onto the first floor of a shopping precinct no wonder the poor girl kept telling us 'you are near your destination!'
If Becky was going to have an off night then this was it as we were all completed flustered by the time we found it with help from a very helpful guy at the Copthorne Hotel.
However Becky quickly composed herself and she was on straightaway and delivered another excellent set.
Here Becky Rose covers Come What May from the musical Moulin Rouge.

Traffic - 40,000 Headmen (Rock 'n' Roll Gold Mine, British Invasion)
Traffic was an English rock band whose members came from the West Midlands. The group formed in April 1967 by Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Chris Wood and Dave Mason. They began as a psychedelic rock group whose early singles were influenced by The Beatles[citation needed], and diversified their sound through the use of instruments such as keyboards like the Mellotron, reed instruments, and by incorporating jazz and improvisational techniques in their music. Their first three singles were Paper Sun, Hole in My Shoe, and Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.
After disbanding in 1969, during which time Winwood joined Blind Faith, Traffic reunited in 1970 to release the critically acclaimed album John Barleycorn Must Die. The band's line-up varied from this point until they disbanded again in 1975, although a partial reunion, with Winwood and Capaldi, took place in 1994.
Traffic's singer, keyboardist and occasional guitarist Steve Winwood had success as a musician prior to joining Traffic, becoming the frontman of the Spencer Davis Group at age 15 in 1963. The Spencer Davis Group released four Top Ten singles and three Top Ten albums in the United Kingdom, as well as two Top Ten singles in the United States.
Winwood met drummer Jim Capaldi, guitarist Dave Mason, and multi-instrumentalist Chris Wood when they jammed together at The Elbow Room, a club in Aston, Birmingham.[2] After Winwood left the Spencer Davis Group in April 1967, the quartet formed Traffic.[1] Soon thereafter, they rented a cottage near the rural village of Aston Tirrold, Berkshire to write and rehearse new music.
Traffic signed to Chris Blackwell's Island Records label (where Winwood's elder brother Muff, also a member of the Spencer Davis Group, later became a record producer and executive), and their debut single Paper Sun became a UK hit in mid-1967. Their second single, Mason's psych-pop classic Hole in My Shoe, was an even bigger hit, and it became one of their best-known tracks, but it set the stage for increasing friction between Winwood and Mason, the group's principal songwriters. The band's third single, Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush, was made for the soundtrack of the 1967 British feature film of the same name. Their debut album was Mr. Fantasy, produced by Jimmy Miller, and like the singles, was a hit in the UK but not as big in the US or elsewhere, although it did reach #88 and stayed on the charts for 22 weeks in the US.
Mason quit the group after the release of Mr Fantasy but rejoined for their second album, Traffic, released in 1968, which included the original version of Mason's Feelin' Alright, which was later covered with great success by Joe Cocker and Three Dog Night. The band began touring the US in late 1968, which led to the following year's release of Traffic's next album, Last Exit, one side of which was recorded live. In 1968 Winwood, Wood and Mason also contributed to the sessions for the watershed Jimi Hendrix double-album Electric Ladyland, and Mason played acoustic guitar on Hendrix's landmark cover of Dylan's All Along the Watchtower.
Traffic released The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys (1971), which was a Top 10 American album but did not chart in the UK; the LP is also notable for its striking die-cut cover. It sold over half a million copies in 1972 when it received a gold disc, and was awarded a R.I.A.A. platinum disc in March 1976 for over a million total sales.[3] Once again, however, personnel problems wracked the band as Capaldi began a solo career, and Grech and Gordon left the band. Grech and Gordon were replaced by drummer Roger Hawkins and bassist David Hood, the rhythm section of the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studio house band.
The new lineup (Winwood, Capaldi, Wood, Kwaku Baah, Hawkins, Hood) toured America in early 1972 to promote the LP, and their concert at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium on 21 February was recorded in multitrack audio and captured on colour videotape with multiple cameras. The 64-minute performance, which features a selection of Traffic classics in excellent stereo sound, is thought to be the only extended live footage of the group. It was evidently not broadcast on television at the time, but was later released on home video and has recently been reissued on DVD.

Steve Tromans Quintet Black Swan Live at The Cross, Moseley 11 August 2011
The opening minutes of the Steve Tromans Quintet's music-making with Tromans' notated composition Black Swan.
Steve Tromans - keyboard and composition
Miles Levin - drums
Aaron Diaz - trumpet
Sam Wooster - trumpet
Nick Jurd - double bass
The concert was due to take place at the Yardbird Jazz Club in the centre of Birmingham, but the venue was closed due to the widespread looting and violence in Birmingham at that time in August 2011.
Happily, the gig was moved to The Cross in Moseley, whose proprietor offered the band his venue for the night.
The performance that evening was a modelling of the social interactions that can positively take place between individuals, respecting difference and manner of expressing ways of doing, not resigned to struggling to achieve constricting commonality or textbook harmony - it was difference-in-itself that was the deleuzian 'dark precursor' to the night's music-making: the non-jazz within jazz; the 'discordant-harmony' of which the possible is merely an effect.
