I was late getting to the party so that when I got there it was in full swing in fact it was Bouncing With Bud. Fortunately, Giacomo informed us of what had gone before so I was up to date on the titles if not the actual content.
It didn't matter, what I heard spoke for itself. Giacomo blew alto like I'd never heard him blow before - he was having what seemed to be a "once in a lifetime moment" although, in truth, it's probably an "every night moment" for GS! He soared like an eagle or maybe just a Bird - just!
Kit Downes on piano proved that today's jazzers aren't in a stylistic bubble - to use one of the current buzz words - but can turn their hand to whatever the gig demands. On the inside or on the outside Kit can cope. Brilliantly I might add on tonight's showing.
Ferg, like all good bass players, holds it all together whilst new kid on the block Kayser is sending a lot of older drummers back into the woodshed!
A great set.
