It had been a while, what with the pandemic and all that. East Durham College will shortly close its doors for the summer break but not before Jazz at the Lubetkin squeezed in a lunchtime session featuring the Dean Stockdale Trio. Considering the lengthy period during which few jazz gigs were possible, it was good to see Peterlee's flagship jazz promoter back in action.
As ever, familiar faces turned out and with a good few students in attendance it made for an enjoyable occasion. Pianist Dean Stockdale presented a balanced programme of GASbook numbers alongside some original compositions. A Stockdale arrangement of Moon River introduced his trio featuring bassist Mick Shoulder and drummer Abbie Finn.
In a Sentimental Mood and Stockdale's Mia's Lullaby were afforded sensitive treatments, the latter showcasing Finn's use of brushes. Promise the Moon, the eponymous track from Stockdale's recently released album took centre stage (copies of the CD were available at the door) and an interesting arrangement of On the Sunny Side of the Street closed the hour-long programme. The Jazz at the Lubetkin concert series is due to resume in September. Details nearer the time. Russell
Set list: Moon River; It Could Happen to You; In a Sentimental Mood; First Light; Promise the Moon; Mia's Lullaby; On the Sunny Side of the Street.
