Nothing Shadowy about the music! All genres were represented, the playing standard was mesmerising. The audience was as full of musicians as the stage. It was a brilliant and funny evening. No egos on display.
Brian Bennett and Clem Cattini came on for just one number simply to contribute percussion. They weren’t there to show off, just to be part of a tribute to a dearly loved colleague in the business they all shared.
Remember the wonderful rich bass notes in Judie Tzuke’s hit Stay with me till dawn? They were played on the record by Mo. Judie came on to sing it last night. As the sheer pros they were, they gave us as perfect a reproduction of the original as you could hope for.
