A tried and tested first set of standards that reminded those who haven't caught Dean's live gigs or streams just how good he and his trio are. I was in the latter category tonight after last night's transport problems - blame it on the bus a no show - so tonight I took up the armchair option rather than having to fork out for another taxi.
Nevertheless, although I am perhaps over familiar with the repertoire, it is always a delight to hear the songbook classics performed so well and with the occasional variation such as In a Sentimental Mood given a Latinish twist and Dean's tight block chord passages on Witchcraft adding some special magic to the old Sinatra hit.
Mick and Abbie gave sound support - both impressing with solos - before the stream went into interval mood and I went to bed with a good book! Live gigs you go to the bar, have a chat then stagger back to your seat. Doesn't work like that with streams - at least not for me. One set streams work best but what do I know?
I'll maybe catch the second set later which, I guess, will be some originals- Lance.
Witchcraft; Darn that dream; In a Sentimental mood; It Could Happen to You; Emily; On the Sunny Side of the Street
