Charles Gordon (pno); Ken Hewitt (ten/sop).
More an open rehearsal than a gig, Charles and Ken laid down some smooth jazz on the off chance that the residents could be seduced from their three courses to hear some music that wasn't too demanding and very easy on the ear.
Don't get me wrong, in the right setting such as The Globe or The Jazz Café on a Saturday night, these two guys could burn the place down - give them bass and drums and the fire brigade would be on standby!
The Vermont doesn't have that kind of musical insurance so, instead, it contented me to have a pint of Wylam's Angel Bitter and listen to some good sax grooves and tasty keyboarding.
But catch these guys when the chips are down and it's 'frying tonight'!
Lance. Charles Gordon/Ken Hewitt Duo are at the Vermont Hotel every Tuesday (circa 9pm).
