It's the fourth of July and an English band is playing for the Americans in Florida. The other band same stage is made up of French, English and Australian musicians too. Well we thought we would leave the rain behind for a few days and bask in the sun in Clearwater but no, it actually bucketed down and again stopped just in time for the gig. We had a great show in the sweltering heat and ended off the night with a jam session on "All Right, OK, You Win" with the Freewinds band, Gayle Moran Corea and Elena Roggero.

A whole day of setting up for Summertime Swing before dashing off to London.

Before arriving at the Pigalle Club once again for a second night of suave and sophistication we popped into the Barbican where our friend and modern jazz legend Chick Corea was performing. Unfortunately we didn't have time to stay for the gig but we did manage to get a quick snap in and wish him good luck. Chick is a featured guest on our new album on two songs including a haunting version of Summertime.
