Open Letter to the Blue Note Club, 1 Hoxton Sq, London

Dear sir/madam

I came down to your club last night after playing a big band gig at a
student ball. What I needed after my Glenn Miller / Neal Hefti overdose was
to play some serious kicking AJ.

And the jam never happened...

A guy I know, Ike Leo (excellent bass player) also turned up. He was one
pissed off man when he found there was no jam.

Saying there's going to be a jam and then not putting one on is one
sure-fire way to lose customers.

You've lost Ike for sure. I'm more foolishly loyal than he is and I'll
probably come down again. I love the club, I recommend it to all my friends
- I love the vibe and I love Acid-Jazz. I don't like being misled and if you
advertise something, it falls through and no explanation is given to paying
customers then that's a severe lack of professionalism on your part and not
something I expect from what is fast becoming one of London's major AJ
venues. As the advertising slogan for one of the rival brands of beer says,
'Get Real!'
