Aye, well worth seeing. Though Duck would be playing the Glasgow Jazz Fest this year but no joy. Myself, I'll be checking out Stan Tracey Trio & Bobby Wellins, and Dennis Rollins Badbone.

Stan Tracey should be nice, I envy you. It's a pity that Duck Baker is so underground. He is reputed to be one of the best in the world in the style he uses. Hard to believe he will be recording in Caithness and performing.

My mistake, Duck will be playing the jazz fest. Shame I'll miss him. As you say, a rare treat for jazz fans - and music fans - in Caithness. Stan's the man.

The best known blues man in Prague used to play in a group called Prairie Wolf in Thurso in the mid seventies. His name is Stan Walarz and his group is called Stan the Man and the Bohemian Blues Band. Tracey was there first though.
Apart from yourself, the music starved population of Caithness does not show much interest in Duck's music. A great chance missed by the local musicians who claim that not much good music comes to Thurso. I have rarely seen a name such as Duck's play up here except the concerts put on in the Mill.
I wonder how many people have heard of Tony Macphee of the Groundhogs. He will be in Caithness in September.
Come on all you musicians out there; you have the chance to meet a legend!
There are a lot of you on the org who show a great interest in live music; please don't miss this oppurtunity.
I urge you to take a look at Duck's website; very informative.

Very intriguing, Gleber2. Would like to know where I could here some of Stan Walarz's stuff. Now that I'm The Scotsman's deputy jazz scribe - hard to believe I know - I've come into contact with some of the most amazing jazz musos still alive. To mention someone knew, though, I would highly recomment listening to Kyle Eastwood (Clint's son). He's a grand bass player and is heavily influence by Chick Corea, who, pop-pickers, is playing at the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues fest this summer. Can't wait.

Check his website. www.blues.cz/stantheman (http://www.blues.cz/stantheman). I have a few of his CD's if there are no clips.

I love jazz and blues! I canna be in Caithness for Duck's performance next week, but maybe I can catch him on this side of the Atlantic instead.

It was more than worth the trip just to hear Chobbersjnr & Gleber2. Duck Baker was the icing on the cake. The setting itself is breathtaking - fantastic evening all round! :)
