Formed ten years ago in Edinburgh and led
by tenor saxophonist, Nick Gould (pictured), JazzMain (Nick Gould tenor; Steve Grossart keys; Kevin Dorrian drums; John Hay electric bass) is one of Scotland's few 'stand-alone'
jazz quartets. Their debut CD, 'A Sound for Sore Ears,' was released last year
receiving both critical acclaim and strong radio airplay.
Much of the band’s set pays
homage to the 1950s and 60s Blue Note straight -ahead jazz and Latin influenced
catalogue, but you'll also find some interesting arrangements of American
Songbook classics, hauntingly beautiful ballads and a few musical twists, turns
and jousts on some of our most popular songs.
Tenor player Nick has dropped by the Jazz Café on a number of occasions for the Tuesday night jam sessions and left a lasting impression - it will be great to hear him with his regular line-up and, going by the band's CD, it will be a night to remember. Thank goodness they haven't re-built Hadrian's Wall!
Not to be missed!
Lance.
