JATLP marches on relentlessly. Even the icy roads and pavements failed to deter all but the fainthearted few.
They were well rewarded!
In a week that hasn't been short of world class jazz guitarists - Nigel Price and Lorne Lofsky at Hexham and the Globe last Sunday provided the yardstick - and Remon and Ormesher didn't pale by comparision.
Seated as I was, almost as close to Tony as his plectrum, it was a visual delight to observe the dexterity with which both guitarists displayed their mastery of the fingerboard, something that was denied me last week at the Globe.
Both guitarists this afternoon held the audience in the palm of their hand and no one was complaining. Remon's sound fuller and more resonant, Ormesher's lighter, more fragile. It was the first time I'd heard Tony but he has form having performed with such legends as Bruce Adams, Gary Potter and Gilad Atzmon, the latter incidentally is appearing at 1856 Exchange in North Shields on Dec. 4. Tony isn't on that gig but Joel Barford (drums) and organist Ross Stanley are so it should be quite something.
However, I digress. This was another top table session at the venerable building which is older than jazz itself - long may they both continue. Lance
