Nick Gould (tenor sax); Steve Grossart (keys);
Iain Harkness (bass guitar); Kevin Dorrian (drums).
If you dig Dexter or jump for Joe Henderson there are two options. Either check out their old Blue Note albums or go to a JazzMain gig.
Edinburgh tenor maestro Nick Gould has absorbed many of the elements of the above two legends in his playing and thrown in a few of his own for good measure much to the delight of all present and those who stayed in out of the rain and watched on livestream.
This was one of those "what's not to like gigs?" with ne'er a banjo in sight. Driving hard bop as good as anything that currently subscribes to that label and better than most.
Piano, bass and drums played their part to perfection soloing and comping as required.

Hi,Lance
It has to be said Nick Goulds rendition of That great Jobim number How Insensitive deserved an encore and many of them!
Come back soon Nick

Great gig - loved the groove on Love for Sale, and the cheeky rearrangement of Willow Weep for Me.
If a girl could be two places at a time……….I’d have been there too!
Thanks you very much for the kind comments, delighted that you enjoyed the gig.
I am very lucky to work with Steve, Iain and Kevin.
Hope to see you all again soon
best
Nick
