Another busy Sunday night at the Railway with a trio containing a newcomer to this venue Jamie Taylor who played standing up without the help of a stool or chair. The other members of this unit have played here in various combos but this was the first time as an organ trio. They certainly made the audience sit up when they started things off with an up-tempo I'll Remember April which drew much applause.
The sound balance I found to be a bit over-heavy on the side of the drums so that sometimes it was difficult to hear the keyboard solos clearly, but, maybe that was the effect they wanted. I personally like the kind of organ trio approach that you find on those Riverside Wes Montgomery Albums.
I liked Taylor’s compositions and, in particular, one called Shepherd’s Crook which was well received by the regulars. Another of his tunes that I liked was Elementary which was written as a tribute to the late Leeds musician Colin Watson.
The next jazz night at the Railway is Tuesday Feb 27 with Jeff Guntren and Paul Hartley’s Band. Mike Farmer (our north west correspondent).
I'll Remember April; Shepherd’s Crook; Little Green Men; Elementary; Ah-Leu-Cha; The Corkscrew?; Grant Green tune?
