this is another of the shows that i’d picked before my trip, but i had to re-upload it as getting ready to post it here, there were just too many changes to the info file (‘mikeos’ shared it on dime the day after the 11:30pm broadcast, ta!). a lot of great jazz has come out of the uk, both musicians and performances. sorry to see them leaving the eu. anyway, a tight performance at maida vale back before any of that nonsense had started. spillett’s website quotes the guardian, front & center: “straight-ahead, high energy jazz is his line and he does it with aplomb”. ’nuff said.
