Wow! Should be a good evening of music, Bill. Look forward to a report. Well yes, certainly a good evening! Atzmon is a very powerful player - his physique, extrovert approach, showmanship and volume reminded me of Cannonball (yes, I saw him too!) You wouldn't have noticed this in a recording studio, but in the smallish room in Wilmslow (audience of 60) with no mics Alan was clearly out-blown when both were on alto, something that never happens when he's paired with Greg Abate. After the first number Alan retreated to a ballad and brought out his baritone, only to have Gilad say it looked "like an Israeli weapon". Gilad also came up to expectations by inserting quotes from Fiddler on the Roof into "All the Things You Are" and on "My Funny Valentine" his clarinet had a decided klezmer sound, his coda leading into a klezmer rhythm which was eventually picked up by Alan and even by local pianist Vinnie Parker! Due to be seeing Gilad's Orient House Ensemble within the next few weeks. Always worth checking out. He was on bagpipes at Swanage on one occasion. Those would be Palestinian bagpipes?
