Another jam session and some of the same faces and some not. When I arrived, Leisa Keen and Steve Richards were on stage and a choir was assembling, the Woden Voices, SATB in a fairly small package of 7 women and three men. They sang some very satisfying tunes - Opus 1, Nice'n'easy - with a lively swing and crisp vocals. Then a few choir singers having a go as soloists, Leisa moving to the acoustic grand and Peter and Nitya joining in. Then more. I had a go later, with Alysa, Simon and others. Fun. I had previously found the house double bass wanting, but it's now got a pickup and the action is adjusted and I enjoyed the outing on an acoustic bass rather than electric, despite the indulgent speed possible on the e-bs. Nice and thanks to Nigel, Beth and whoever may have adjusted the bridge.
Leisa Keen (piano) with Steve Richards (drums) led and backed the Woden Voices choir at Smiths McGregor Hall.
