Just You, Just Me – Bob Erwig’s Band 1995
This was filmed at a jazz festival in Alexandria Bay, New York. As such we were not a regular band but would do Wednesday night gigs as a trio ot quartet and some of the musicians available would show up.
This was the first and I believe only time that this group came together to perform at a festival.
Most of the musicians played with other bands on a regular basis. To me it was very special to have Terry Pitts on trombone. Terry had retired in Ontario after a long career as a member of the famous Cy Laurie band from the London England area. A man with a great ear for the music, an incredible knowledge of the jazz history and a wonderful perception of the humor surrounding all of this. Very unfortunate Terry is no longer with us. He is missed by his jazz friends all over the world. Other members were Michael Warmsley guitar, Allistair Lauwrie clarinet, Adam Saunders piano and Ron Johnsson bass, altogether a fine band and good group of old friends.
