Chris_APA Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Courtney Pine was incredible last night, set the bar high for the rest of the festival!Niki King tonight will be something very special, definitely one for those who prefer the more mellow, vocal-led jazz.

Monk Rocker Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Some tasty propositions there! I wish I didn't live so far away:-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_APA Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Stan Tracey's going to be brilliant, total icon of jazz.Also worth a mention are Brass Jaw - a really inventive four piece who have done away with the traditional rhythm section and performing entirely on brass.
