13th – Dave Moorwood’s Rascals of Rhythm
REVIEWS:
Julia Hubery & Mark Willis: ”Well worth the wait – we felt pampered by the quality of what we heard tonight – favourites, the properly mournful Big House , the lush Bernie Carter medley that I just wanted to inhale, Blue Waterloo and Aunt Tilley. Fantastic individuality and togetherness – sounded like a big band sometimes. Thank you.”
John, Jill & Richard: “Very good selection of tunes which showed the quality of the musicians.”
Jill Bater & Ed Couzens: “Good for Dave. Hope to see them again soon.”
John Rothery: “Very enjoyable. I liked the selection of unfamiliar tunes, especially the Bennie Carter medley. The amplification of Dave’s guitar and vocals seemed tinny.”
Juliette & Malcolm: “Six excellent musicians playing some very unusual tunes which demonstrated their skills. An excellent range of tempi too. A great evening of generally gentle jazz.”
Anon: “So enjoyable! Loved the blues. Accomplished musicians. Very mellow.”
