New Orleans Funeral in Wales
Alan Swainston Cooper. Alan Cooper. Leader of the Temperence Seven jazz Band On the fourth of september 2007 in Hay in Wye A marching jazz band celebrated the life of Alan Cooper. His wake was very well attended and all who joined in were teated to a wonderful mal with of course jazz music being played in the marquee. Tall, balding, and bearded, Alan Cooper was not only one of Britain's leading traditional jazz clarinettists, he was also a Yorkshireman, and, at heart, an Edwardian. As a member of the original Temperance Seven, he had chart-topping success in 1961 with You're Driving Me Crazy, and Pasadena, which became the band's theme tune. He was also a tutor at Chelsea College of Art, loved as much by his students for jovial evenings in the pub as for his teaching, and he was an inveterate collector of Edwardiana and ancient musical instruments. His last home was a large rambling building in the centre of Hay on Wye where his widow Jen remains with her group of wolfhound dogs.
