Three amazing musicians! Arguably, technically as proficient and on a par with any three improv musicians who have played at the Globe.
The first set consisted of one untitled dollop of free improv that had the audience spellbound although probably did nothing for the bar sales. Admittedly there were fleeting moments - a couple of notes here, a few bars there - that bore some resemblance to the music I love but not enough to hurt the sensitivities of the pro-improv audience.
I was intrigued to discover how the second set panned out but, unfortunately, I had a prior engagement to meet up with one of my fellow scribes at the Prohibition Bar, formerly, known as the Jazz Café, where the Tenement Jazz Band were laying down their brand of Scottish Dixieland.
It says much for the Newcastle scene that the two extremes of jazz could be alive and well on the same evening and within stomping distance of each other. Lance
