I really enjoyed this presentation – intriguing chord melodies, great trumpet/sax lines along with 7 string guitar (he covers bass with the low strings.) ‘Loved the drummer too. Excellent compositions, soloing. They play regularly in the area – I will check them out again. It’s great to see the younger generation embracing the development of jazz.
Sophisticated avant-garde jazz and poetry.
