Hi There, My name is Nick Telfer and I’ve been playing in and running bands in West Cumbria since the late fifties. This site is dedicated to my regular four piece now getting together again after two of our members have recovered from their health problems. If you know the difference between Traditional and New Orleans Jazz we tend towards the latter. If you don’t know the difference it doesn’t matter anyway. Over the past few years I’ve been trying to incorporate numbers into the repertoire which actually originated in New Orleans and Louisiana as well as the more familiar numbers. We include Créole numbers sung in the french patois, rhythm and blues numbers and  numbers written recently by New Orleans musicians such as Tim Laughlin and Ryan Burrage.                                                           [More- Scroll Down]                

I hope to add more information about the past history and the repertoire over the next few months as time permits. I will also add more more cuts from various recorded sessions. Don’t you just hate those cut down sound clips which only give you a small snatch of  a performance. So do I. All sound clips on this site give you the complete track. They are all in mp3 format and you are free to copy them if you wish.

 

Enjoy the rest of your visit to this site.

 

Nick Telfer

 

AN INVITATION

If you are a musician, like me, you may have had a lot of experience searching the web in vain for information about chords, lyrics and the dots. Even when you find something that looks interesting it turns out to be a sales pitch, or a completely impossible arrangement by a demented guitar player full of half diminished and flattened ninths. Or you find the link to a site you used in the past no longer works.

If you’d like to help me build a site where we could share our knowledge and information please e-mail me

INTERNET EXPLORER:

If you have IE set to block Active-X controls you may not be able to see the drop down links to some of the pages.

 

FIREFOX:

When you select a music clip to be played Firefox may present you with a dialog box asking you where it should save the file. In most cases this is just a nuisance (Unless you want to keep a permanent copy).

Go to the dropdown list on the Firefox Tools menu. Select Options>Content>Manage change the way Firefox handles WMA files to play with Windows Media Player (or other player of your choice)

I am not aware of any problems with Netscape but if you encounter any please let me know
