This picture - taken by Melanie McLaren - gives a good impression of the concert we gave last Saturday at 'the Firkin Crane' (Cork, Ireland).
Line-up: Nikki Iles - piano, band leader
Lauren Sevian - baritone saxophone
Noriko Ueda - double bass
Martina Almgren - drums
and me on the trumpet of coarse
We played a repertoire of originals and "new standards" (Kenny Wheeler, Wayne Shorter, Kenny Werner) and the result was - I think - astounding. More pictures of this concert can be found at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mclarenfamily/sets/72157622654574980/
