Adam Fairhall (piano); Tim Fairhall (bass); Paul Hession
(drums)
(Review by Steve H)
Markov Chain-a stochastic model describing a sequence of
possible events in which the probability of each event depends only on the
state attained in the previous event memorylessness
Those who understand the definition above need read no
further because I can't think of a better explanation of what was witnessed on
Thursday night. This was free improvisation at its best; the trio creating a
mesmerising cacophony of exhilarating combustible mayhem.
Think flight of the
Beeble Bum on acid. Drum maestro Paul Hession really smashing it whilst Tim
Fairhall bowed his double bass like a master craftsman. Meanwhile brother Adam
held the whole thing together with his mesmeric playing of the piano both
inside and out.
The first part of the evening consisted of an
astonishing solo performance from Adam Fairhall. You name the style he
played it: classical, free, bebop and particularly enjoyable ragtime all
wrapped up within the piece.
A very enjoyable evening which according to Markovian
principle may influence the next gig I go to but certainly not the one after
that.
Steve.
