Sold out concert today! Storm Babet, unfortunately, had other ideas
disrupting the travel plans of some of our regulars. However, the intrepid 60
or so of us who made it were rewarded with a storming set by the Sam Toulson
Quartet .
They kicked off with Charlie Parker's My Little Suede Shoes - a really impressive opening - followed by Salme til Duestrasten (composer Duetrost) and The Impossible Gentlemen's Laugh Lines.
A totally captivated audience loved Irving
Berlin's How Deep is the Ocean? just wonderful! The Love
Theme from Ennio Morricone's soundtrack of the glorious movie Cinema
Paradiso and Toulson's arrangement of Bonny at Morn -
a traditional folk song - concluded an hour of terrific music hugely
appreciated by one and all.
Great to see such talented young men who have
strong northern roots and have played at the Tuesday jam sessions run by
the indefatigable Paul Grainger, as well as in concert at the Globe,
performing music that was so well chosen and arranged with such
confidence and style and, in my opinion, way beyond their years. Check out this
band when you get the chance hopefully soon! Pam.
