Based around, but not exclusively, Gravy Boat's latest album - Worry Not. The theme of the album is based on stress and worry and overcoming them which, for many myself included, is a much needed therapy (don't ask!) after this stormy weekend's devastation and with another hidden enemy on the horizon.
Well it certainly worked for me. Emma's lovely tenor sound complemented beautifully by the other four. The tone, the phrasing, the ideas, I found suggestive of early Blue Note but air-lifted in to the 21st century.

But maybe I shouldn't highlight one number, they all had special moments. Jones' piano solos, Vickers' guitar, Milne's bass and Hanley's drums along with the leader's tenor made this one session where I wanted to be sitting at a front row table with a bottle of Wainwright's rather than watching it at home with a cup of coffee.
I'm not sure if they played the complete album but the titles I caught were: Hold me Tight; Setting Sail; Waterlogged; Worry Not and Sun Stones. Numbers not from the album included Pelican and Candle Wax.
Another enjoyable Sunday Night @ the Globe, this time a co-promotion between the Jazz Co-op and Jazz North East - Lance
