Mark Williams (guitar); Paul Susans (bass guitar); Rob Walker (drums).
The Mark Williams Trio have released two albums: Balaclava Street and Last Bus to Bensham. Today was a chance for them to preview material, all written by Mark Williams, which will be on a third album to be recorded later this year. On today’s listening, what an album it is going to be!
There was only time for five pieces in the hour allotted to them, but those five pieces showed what this trio could do. This is not a trio comprising front man and rhythm section at the back, rather three consummate musicians taking equal opportunities to shine and delight. Mark Williams led each piece of music but Paul Susans played bass as a front line instrument and Rob Walker showed his musicality on every tune.
At times almost frenetic, at times very melodic, but always inventive. Although they challenged many members of the audience, I've got no doubt they gained many fans too. This was definitely not “easy listening jazz” but what a blast! Sylvia T
