Not an easy one to write about as the livestream did have some buffering problems which restricted the flow of the music. It may have been unique to my set-up as no one else complained, although, unlike most streams, the 606 doesn't attract too many sidebar pundits so maybe they suffered in silence.
Whatever, it was still an enjoyable first set aimed at launching Glasser's album Mzanzi from which much of the repertoire came. As the title implies it was very much township based with that infectious rhythm - sometimes implied, sometimes in your face.
Crowley blistered on tenor and Luft rubber stamped his ever increasing credentials as a guitarist to be reckoned with. Watts and Corrie Dick laid down the cement for the other three to build on with Glasser alternating between piano and chromatic harmonica.
Apart from Glasser's originals, most of the material was drawn from various South African jazz legends such as Abdullah Ibrahim and Bheki Mseleku and made the session a must for fans of that particular genre. Lance
