Steve Pimlott (piano); Richard Weatherall (piano); Ed Harrison (double bass) Phil Bennett (drums).
Steve Pimlott brought along a different trio of musicians to the Railway last night than the one he used at his gig at the Tallyrand recently. It was good to see Phil back in action after his short self-isolation due to being pinged and I’m pleased that Richard elected to play the house upright piano. He always gets a great sound and I think an acoustic piano blends better with the tenor sax than the electric version.
Steve played tenor with a sound that reminded me of Hank Mobley during his Soul Station period. Richard Weatherall is well-known throughout the UK for being able to handle any playing situation and he did a first-rate job on Steve’s challenging repertoire. Ed Harrison was impressive as usual on bass and Phil Bennett was outstanding on drums.
Steve will be next playing at the Creative Space, at the Slug and Lettuce, 651 Wilmslow Road, Didsbury M20 60Z on Tuesday August 3. Also, on the same day, you can see guitarist Steve Oaks and his quartet featuring Ray Butcher trumpet. Mike Farmer
