Richard Wetherall (piano); Ed Harrison (bass); Dave
Walsh (drums)
A lot of tunes were played tonight, some familiar and some not so. They were all given an interesting workout in the very capable hands of the three musicians involved in spite of the notice board outside showing a quartet line-up. Sometimes it did seem there were more musicians on the bandstand especially during the faster numbers when the energy level moved up a notch and drummer Dave Walsh let loose with some fiery stick-work.
Richard engaged with the audience between tunes and shared some thoughts about why he preferred the house upright over electric pianos and also expressed his liking for the compositions of Django Bates by playing his Hollyhocks which was quite a challenge for bass and drums but they handled the frequent tempo changes to perfection.
The
next jazz night at the Railway will be Oct 31 with Emily Masser on vocals and sax with the Dean Masser Quartet.
