Thanks for the great review! Sounds like a brilliant end to the tour.
Hi Lance,
Having just come back from holiday, I want to add some comments on three gigs I saw before I went away as they were all memorable in different ways.
Firstly, the Ayanna gig was sensational. The combination of her voice (which seemed to me more Cassandra Wilson / Mahalia Jackson than Joni Mitchell) and the constantly interesting variety of the musical accompaniment created something that was unique. I don’t think I’ve heard a mixture of uileann pipes, low whistle and plucked cello in a jazz context before. I could have happily sat through another whole show. You can find the beast in many places, but such beauty is rare.
Another was the Jo Harrop session at the Cherrytree restaurant, which was a wonderful presentation of the jazz singer’s art (with a great band as well). Did she sing ‘Give me a pigfoot and a bottle of beer’, Lance, or was that the menu? I think it’s worth saying that the Cherrytree has now become the place to go for jazz on a Monday night – it’s like Pizza Express in London, except with much better food.
The third was, of course, the tribute to Chris Yeates in the Corner House, which was an incredible collection of jazz musicians. The last group was particularly electrifying and when they were urging each other further and further in the choruses of Anthropology, it was a bit like the scenes Jack Kerouac described in his books of the atmosphere in New York jazz clubs when Bird and Dizzy were playing:
‘...hearing a wild tenorman bawling horn across the way, going ‘EE-YAH! EE-YAH! EE-YAH!’ and hands clapping to the beat and folks yelling ‘Go, go, go!’....the tenorman was blowing at the peak of a wonderfully satisfactory free idea, a rising and falling riff that went from ‘ee-yah!’ to a crazier ‘ee-de-lee-yah!’ and blasted along to the rolling crash of butt-scarred drums...
“On the Road’
All fantastic stuff!
JC
