Edison Herbert (guitar); Emlyn Vaughan (bass guitar); Miles Pillinger (drums)
An 'away day' in Darlington. Lunchtime at St Augustine's listening to Rico Tomasso's Swing Company followed by a pint of Old Peculier in Number Twenty 2 (the musicians' post-gig hang) and onto an early evening gig at the Vault on East Row. Edison Herbert was making a popular return visit to the Market Place venue and several fans made the effort to get along, although they were well aware it wouldn't be a listening crowd...
Guitarist Edison Herbert and six-string bassist Emlyn Vaughan made the short trip from Leeds, meeting up with recent graduate drummer Miles Pillinger to play two sets of guitar-led popular jazz numbers. Just Friends, In a Sentimental Mood (Emlyn Vaughan's six-string bass solo), a funky Summertime, a jaunty My Little Suede Shoes, When Sunny Gets Blue, Herbert is one slick operator. The affable Herbert isn't one for pyrotechnics, the groove is the thing. A blues thing now and again, Softly, As in a Morning Sunrise (Pillinger's effective drum solo), Rollins-esque calypso, if Wes Montgomery, Grant Green and George Benson are your bag, be sure to check out Mr. Edison Herbert.
