Alter the excesses of the Festival, it‘s all quiet on Glasgow‘s jazz front, while over in Edinburgh the District Council are promoting a line, broad based series of concerts in the Ross Theatre, the big tent in Princes Street Gardens.
On the 15th Mike Westbrook brings his vocally stunning wile Kate in a deft group of mainly wind players, taking the themes and arias from William Tell, Othello orthe Barber of Seville and reconstructing them as Westbrook—Rossini, see photo. With a large element of theatre and whimsical wit, the band showed an appreciative, it small, Maylest audience just how marvellous the ensemble blowing can be, from the tuba up through tenor
-.
horn, trombone and alto sax, Lindsay Cooper adding her arresting little sopranino saxophone on top.
Another, and bigger band mixing the restraint of classical players with the extemporising urges ol the local jazzers is Dick Lee‘s ChamberJazz. You have the chance at the same venue
' on Sunday 10th to see the winners of
BBC Radio’s Big Band competition, led by Dick on sax and clarinet, play their home town. His clever, sometimes cheeky compositions and arrangements hint at many influences from bagpipes to the Baroque, and allow plenty oispace lorsoloists. some of the classical players linding novel
delight in leaving the dots and flying lree.
