Lightweight harmonies, no weird soloing but great playing und groovyness. Everytime I thought "Ahm, this is getting too poppy..." I focused on the drummer and everything was fine.

Although the venue sounds a bit boomy I'm quite happy with the recording. Probably it sounds better here if you sit next to a PA speaker instead of the center.


Chris Illingworth - Piano
Nick Blacka - Double Bass, Announcements
Rob Turner - Drums
