Cat Munro’s picture captures the mood of last Sunday night at the Pizza very well. There may not be another singer who can carry the long arc of a melody with quite Tessa Souter‘s concentration, evenness and control. (Try The Peacocks from her debut album – with the great Sarf London title Listen Love) or Beyond the Blue, the title track of the current one on Motema – here’s Chris Parker’s review.
Lynne Arriale played some fascinating, flawless, less-is-more solos, Jim Hart had the energetic and creative Winston Clifford right behind his jacket-tails (out of shot) and responded in kind, and Alec Dankworth – who has a very big night this Saturday – brought the same melodious completeness of another fine, busy bass player Tessa Souter works with in New York, Sean Smith. Tessa is also a lively writer and I must get round to reading her book
