| Neil Charles |
In the wonderful atmospheric Members Library at the The Lit and Phil we were treated to two solo sets. First Raymond MacDonald with his saxophone, combining both mournful dirge and zesty desire lines. Followed by Neil Charles on double bass, whose Ellington shaped stepping stones helped him navigate from the reference section to the thriller shelves.
Look out for Neil's latest release, Dark Days, on Jazz In Britain's ‘new music’ imprint JAZZ NOW at
