Peter Morgan (piano); Vilda Kuby (double bass); Paul Campbell (drums).
It was a pleasure to have the Peter Morgan Trio making their debut as the guest band this month at Dorman's.
Three top class musicians giving us their own interpretations of mainly jazz standards starting with a fine swinging version of There Will Never Be Another You.
The lovely ballad by Guy Wood, My One And Only Love, featured Vilda's exceptional and moving bass solo.
After Black Orpheus, an original composition by Peter - Jo Jo - a lively swinging number driven along by Paul's fine drumming. A nice blues, the Eagles' Desperado was followed by Quincy Jones' Silhouette and Woody Shaw's jazz waltz In A Capricornian Way.
The first set was brought to a close in style with Charlie Parker's Ornithology - piano and bass playing the melody in unison.
The second set began with an up tempo version of Parker's Yardbird Suite showing just how tight a trio this was.
A beautiful rendition of Benny Golson's I Remember Clifford was followed by Up Jumped Spring both with excellent piano work.
A nice composition by Peter - a ballad with a Parisien feel - A Dam Sa Moi.
Autumn Leaves featured Vilda and was played with great dynamics and feeling. Willow Weep For Me was followed by Cute giving Paul the opportunity to show his great drumming skills.
The night was then brought to a close with a powerful version the classic Miles Davis All Blues - VIDEO LINK.
Many thanks go to The Peter Morgan Trio for travelling to Teesside and supporting our jazz night with such an impressive group.
Thanks also as usual go to Dorman's for their help and support enabling us to keep the jazz night going. Ron Hampton
