JRR & J to Z @ Free Thinking Festival, Sage Gateshead - March 30

CD Review: Kate Williams' Four Plus Three meets Georgia Mancio - Finding Home

(Review by Lance).
A cracking album - I've come to expect nothing less from Georgia. A lunchtime gig at Cadogan Hall some years back planted the seed which bore fruit when I heard her on disc, and later live with Alan Broadbent at GIJF. Since then I've checked her out and regretted I haven't been able to get down to Pizza Express for her justly acclaimed ReVoice sessions.

Mick Shoulder Quintet @ Bishop Auckland Town Hall - March 15

CD Review: Gabriel Latchin Trio - The Moon and I
Latchin's second CD more than lives up to its predecessor - Introducing Gabriel Latchin which I raved about in 2017.
Straight down the middle piano jazz. No pregnant pauses, no using the piano as a harp substitute. Just honest, what you see is what you get, music! And what you get is a pianist who swings in the grand tradition of, to quote Jazzwise, Hank Jones or Tommy Flanagan.
