I've just about ran out of superlatives to describe the Alan Glen Trio (Alan Glen (pno), Lawrence Blackadder (bs) and David Carnegie (dms)) having heard them so frequently at the Chillingham over the past few months. Indeed there are times when I wish that Alan would fumble a run, or David miss a beat, or Lawrence lose the sequence; just to prove they are human.They never do or, if they do do, it is so ephemeral that no one notices but themselves!
Tonight was another day at the office for Mister Cool who drew from the bottomless pit of his repertoire such gems as "Prelude To A Kiss", "The Way You Look Tonight", "If I Should Lose You", and "Someday My Prince Will Come."
It was an exercise in virtuosity worthy of a packed house but, having been on at the Chilli less than a week ago, perhaps some folks thought it would be too much of a good thing - as if!
The final "Something Old, Something New" with its Highlandic theme launched David Carnegie into orbit for a hickory flailing flight of percussive phantasy.
He touched down safely.
