Bebop Spoken There

Lew Shaw (Syncopated Times' columnist): "My interest [at 95] is in classic jazz. The numbers aren't what they were 40 years ago, but I'm encouraged by the number of young musicians playing that style and the young audiences they attract." - (The Syncopated Times January 2021)

The Things They Say!

Jenni Molly Trio @ Lanercost Priory Saturday May 15

Jenni Molloy (bass), Stuart MacDonald (saxes) and Chris Sykes (drums/ percussion). Historic Lanercost Priory and it’s acoustics create a unique atmosphere, one that brings the best out of musicians, and this trio of articulate, nimble and ‘totally together’ musicians thrilled from the off. Playing compositions from Molloy’s acclaimed 2009 album Bach ReLoaded the band moved seamlessly through tunes inspired by the likes of Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Wayne Shorter with some cleverly disguised bits from Bach himself cropping up every so often. It’s hard to pick a favourite from this wonderful set but for me Bird Invention, Little by Little and, Jenni’s homeland South Africa inspired District 6 Revisited were the highlights. This band deserves greater exposure – listen to Bach ReLoaded and you’ll know why. David Gosling
