    Yeah! The suits were so cool, they looked the part!

    I thought the bassist was amazing, but he tended (imo) to play a little OTT at times, but that doesn't take away form the fact that he was great, just a minor quip really!

    The coloured horn player (the guy who looked like Coltrane) blew me away, he was on another level. Didn't like the trumpet player that much, I though his solos were almost random or something, like a stream of notes with no order or anything.

    Haha, Tyner's voice! Didn't have the foggiest as to what he was rambling on about but he' still got it! Impressions was amazing, absolutely incredible.

    Charnett Moffet is the man, gotta love a double bass player half named after Ornette Coleman.... His dad drummed with him I think. I will have to go and get "For the love of peace" by him now after seeing him play. I never knew the bass could make such sounds... All in all a greaaat gig! Theres something about old jazz players that makes em hard to understand, years of talking through their instrument has made it hard to talk with anything else.... Or something :rolleyes:

    Really really enjoyed it.
    Could hear everyone pretty well from where i was sitting (couldn't see McCoy too well but ah well...) I thought the brass section was excellent especially the two saxophonists, with whitie playing the smooth flowing lines and the alto Soltrane/George Benson looking guy going all out with mad dynamic runs.

    Heh, i thought the Trumpet player looked awfully uncomfortable though, maybe he was distracted by the shininess of his suit or upset that he was wearing different clothes or something. I though his lines were great at first but that he generally fizzled out after about 15 mins playing. Did look like a fat miles tho! :D

    Rythm section was great too. Drummer was probably my favourite, wasn't too gone on the bassists solos, thought his accompanyments were fantastic but that he was, as previously said, OTT at times.

    Impressions was class :D

    Well, the concert was finally aired on lyricfm over the weekend. I had a listen to the stream last night and it was definitely a class gig. I wish there was more of this was done tbh as sometimes I don't really 'get' a gig straight away... this was particularly true of the first time I saw Brad Mehldau play.

    Never heard of that before, great idea though. Definitely should be done more often.
