At 9.20pm they were playing Coltrane’s Equinox, Steve with his usual adventurous chords and runs, good steady bass from Paul, Rob drumming well, sweet-voiced Debra. This was followed by an original, Stay (lyrics by Debra, tune from Steve), showing these two as an effective song-writing team – they should write more. Other numbers included Have You Met Miss Jones; Senor Blues (with call and response between band and voice); a Betty Carter song with neat staccato chops from the drums; Relax, Debra’s words to the tune of Killer Joe, with a bass solo; Duke Ellington’s Caravan; and a Tom Waits song Temptation, with interesting vocalise from our singer. However the song I liked best had a feel of contemporary folk rather than jazz, a Steve/Debra original called Show Me The Man.
