Clark Tracey Sextet

Fabulous gig at Brighton jazz Club last night. Clark is obviously promoting some of the new boys on the block. All five of his players were in their early 20s and were superb instrumentalists and the band played some nice compositions. Wayne shorters One By One was great but I really liked Clark's own composition, The Devil's Chair. He really should write all his own stuff. Although I thought they were all superb Lewis Wright, vibes, who also now plays with Empirical, played some amazing solos clearly demonstrating that he has a voice of his own. And it was good to see a packed club for such quality live music.
