Well - words fail me - this was such a superlative gig, and Lance - you've summed it all up. It was wonderful - nothing less than that!
Thanks Lance - a good summary of a great evening - what a showcase for the north east scene. For me, this eclipsed the recent (packed) Ronnie Scott's "All Stars" gig in every respect - vocals, originality, sax, piano, rhythm section, taste...
I was very keen to hear Paul's originals which have been played by Jambone. These didn't disappoint - especially my favourite, "Embrace the Silence", which never fails to send chills down the spine. NB though - the Jambone versions are different, but no less musical and accomplished!
Altogether, Paul and his superb crew did themselves (and Sage) proud - never mind talk of leaving these shores, how about investing in and building jazz here even more?!
I think it’s fair to say Chris that the Sage deserves little praise here....given that they are shutting down the jazz degree that Paul is head of and making him (and the rest of the department) redundant....it’s hard to see how that is investing in jazz....
In agreement with everything above, really quiet superb in every way. The only thing Paul Edis doesn't do is juggle and I wouldn't be surprised if he did that too.
Musicianship on this was top notch from everyone, simply fantastic playing and vocals. My wife who is not a jazz fan (but came for the wine) loved it too so it appealed to more than just the jazz crowd.
Paul does juggle...gigs, bandleader, tutoring, promoting, writing, arranging, festival organiser etc!
