Tks 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 (Peggy’s Skylight): Kim Cypher (tenor/alto
saxes, vocals); Chris Santo Cobbson (guitar); Richard Hughes (piano); Mike
Green (bass); Mike Cypher (drums).
Although Kim Cypher is a Cheltenham girl born and bred, 2025 was the first time she'd appeared on the Main Arena Stage. Indeed it was the first time that prestigious spot had been filled by a home grown artist despite Kim's years of championing jazz in Cheltenham. Needless to say that Kim takes this tide in her fortunes at the flood with a Latin jazz party that exudes love and happiness. Ashley Slater's trombone solos justified his featured billing.
For the six tracks from Peggy's Skylight* in Nottingham the mood was maintained. Cobbson's guitar impressed at both venues as did Kim's raunchy sax solos and her too few vocals. Solid rhythm section with Cypher the drummer catching the complex Caribbean and Brazilian rhythms to the manner born. Lance
Release date: July 11.
