The band chipped in to the awards as they were handed out with a crisp, perfectly timed and to-the-point musical commentary: James Pearson (piano), Sam Burgess (bass), Pedro Segundo (drums) and Dave O’Higgins (tenor saxophone). The team from BBC Radio Scotland’s Jazz House were on hand to record.

To the poster(s?) of a couple of fairly negative comments on this post, we don't publish that kind of thing when it's posted anonymously. The music – and this site – try as much as possible to be about civilized interaction and dialogue rather than gratuitous slagging. Thanks for taking the trouble anyway.
