Seats were at a premium and the sun, at least for awhile, beat down upon the al fresco audience enjoying the funky sounds from the Jason Holcomb Jazz Ensemble.
In truth probably not many were there just for the music but, combined with the drinks, the pizza, the general bonhomie and the sun, which was soon to turn to light rain, the setting was near perfect.

Holcomb gets an earthy sound coupled with an advanced degree in slide-ology that had the hypothetical firemen in the Engine Room on a four alarm fire alert! On some numbers he used an effects pedal that added little to his natural sound.
On the, now seemingly omnipresent, Nord Stage 3 keyboard Shepherd was very effective adding bass lines to his comping and his juicy solos.
Finn was, as ever, on the money. Not as many solos as per the norm but when she did break loose they counted!
All in all a pleasant early evening and for those of us who copped for a table with a sheltering sunshade/umbrella to protect us from the weather we got the best of both worlds. Lance
