Royal Garden Blues - Climax J.B 1991
Our Climax Jazz Band has been invited on many jazz cruises. Travel agents would charter a cruise ship and would then sell tickets, usually at the larger jazz festivals. Quite often more than one jazz band would be hired to perform during the cruise.
This cruise was for a trip along the Amazon River and the two participating bands were the Nightblooming Jazzmen from Los Angeles and our band from Toronto.
On the Greek m.s. Stella Solaris you see a clip of our band jamming through “Royal Garden Blues” with some additional guests. On tenor saxophone was Brian Ogilvie who had been our reedplayer in the early eighties and had just joined the Jim Cullum Band. On clarinet was Pieter Meijers from the Nightblooming Jazzmen, who several years later became the leader of the High Sierra Jazz Band. A very special guest was drummer Huub Janssen from the Netherlands, who had taken a break from the Dutch Swing College Band to join us on this trip.
Huub is probably one of Europe’s best drummers and it was a great pleasure to be driven by him.
The regulars in our band were Len Gosling on trombone, Jack Vincken on banjo and Chris Daniels on the bass and myself on cornet.
The music was rather hot and so were we. We had just past the Equator on the Amazon River and it was probably around 36 degrees C. , humid, with little wind, just minor inconveniences, but fortunately there was a continuous flow of deliveries of bottles of cold Heineken beer.
My wife Ilse was sweating with the heavy Sony camcorder on her shoulder to witness this film for future pleasure and here it finally is, some 16 years later!

The Nanay River joins the Amazon on its left bank…
…between the Tigre and Napo Rivers.
The Nanay is one of three rivers that surround the jungle city of Iquitos, turning it into an island.
When the river drops, several beaches form on the banks of the Nanay. Theyre very popular destinations for visitors from Iquitos.
The rivers lowland environment creates a tortuous, meandering waterway
its slow course breaks up into thousands of small channels, creating a string of islands and lagoons that are all submerged during the wet season.

Volta de barco no Jungle Cruise, Tokyo Disney.
The Jungle Cruise is an attraction at the following Disney theme parks: Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Hong Kong Disneyland (under the name Jungle River Cruise). Disneyland Paris is the only Magic Kingdom-style Disney theme park that does not have the Jungle Cruise in its attraction roster, though an indoor jeep ride called Jungle Expedition was originally planned instead.
Ride description
The attraction simulates a riverboat cruise down several major rivers of Asia, Africa and South America. Park guests board replica tramp steamers and are taken on a voyage past many different animatronic jungle animals. The tour is led by a live Disney Cast Member delivering a humorous preset narration.
[edit] Inspiration & Design
Sources of inspiration for the attraction include a 1955 True-Life Adventure about a pride of lions, and the movie “The African Queen”.
Attraction Summary
The queue and station are themed as the headquarters and boathouse of a River Expedition Company, located in a (presumably British) Colony of the 1930s. The queuing area is cluttered with appropriate props, such as pinned insects under glass, and a chessboard with miniature animals replacing the pieces. The extended queue winds upstairs, underneath an animatronic hornbill, and then downstairs again. Big band music from the 1930s plays overhead, punctuated by jungle-related news bulletins, helping to reinforce the setting.
Once aboard the boats, the guests are introduced to their skipper and they head into the jungle (allegedly never to return). The first river simulated is the Mekong. The boats sail through a dense rainforest, and an ancient Cambodian shrine where they see a Bengal Tiger, giant spiders, king cobras and crocodiles. Passing Hindu statues, the boats enter the Sacred Indian Elephant Bathing Pool where dozens of Indian elephants frolic in the water and squirt water at the passing vessels. The theme transitions to the rivers of Africa, and riders see a family of baboons, and safari camp that has been overrun by gorillas. The boats careen past the dramatic waterfall Schweitzer Falls, between two African Elephants, and large termite mounds. A tableau of the African Veldt follows, showing zebras, wildebeest, and giraffes watch a pride of lions feasting on a zebra beneath a rocky outcropping. Beyond the lion’s den, an angry rhinoceros has chased a safari party up a tree. Antelope and hyenas watch from nearby. The skipper then pilots the boat into a large pool, disturbing a pod of hippos that signal their intent to attack the boat. Armed with a gun (filled with blanks), the skipper fires into the air to frighten them away. Drums and chanting are heard as the boats come to headhunter country. The vehicles pass a native village before sailing into an ambush by natives wielding spears, (the sound effects for which are usually provided by the skipper). The boats pass behind Schweitzer Falls (known as “the Backside of Water”) to enter the Amazon River. Skeletal animal remains and warning signs featuring pictures of dagger-toothed fish forewarn the next show scene, where the boats encounter a swarm of leaping piranha. The guests then pass a pool of water buffalo, and meet shrunken head dealer Trader Sam before returning to the dock.

The Amazon River in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest
The Amazon River dominates South Americafrom its source in the Peruvian Andes to its mouth on the east coast of Brazil. The first European to find it was Francisco de Orellana in 1542.
The Amazon is the longest and broadest river in the world, and covers the largest land area.
Its 6756 kilometers or 4,197 miles long, more than 40 kilometers longer than the Nile.
For most of its length the river is sinuous, creating a web of channels and thousands of islands.
On average the Amazon is 50 meters deep and between 4 and 6 kilometers wide.
River boat tours leave from Iquitos to the eastern edge of the Amazon in Brazil, a journey that takes weeks, but shorter trips can take visitors to jungle lodges for a glimpse of the rivers abundant wildlife..
