Isomatic UK Weblog

On Monday night we went to the Cricketers in Horsell Birch, Woking to see a quartet comprising Chris Lowe (trombone), Enrico Tomasso (flugle horn), Richard White (bass saxophone) and Martin Wheatley (acoustic guitar). These are four great jazz musicians, of which Enrico is by far the best-known, having his own band and performing with many others, including Acker Bilk. Chris is well-known to readers of this weblog for his performances on either trombone or drums with the Panama Cafe orchestra. Richard White handles the apparently cumbersome bass saxophone as if it is a much faster-responding instrument, using it for a solo section in every number. Martin amazed the audience with what he can produce from a small acoustic guitar. A good performance; pity that Selina had been unwell that day and was too tired to carry on past the interval.
