The Gaz Hughes Sextet.

Goldfinch60



The first notes sounded

And it came to me,

That smile came onto my face.

They were playing music,

My type of music

From the time

That bebop ruled,

Ruled the jazz world.

Just the six of them

Sending this amazing sound

Into my heart,

Into my soul.

And evening of unbounded delight

Taking me to new places,

To new places in my Universe.

      It surely was Orchi.

    • dusk arising

      Ya wants be-bop? Shouldda played some Diz and Bird.

      But you already knew that. Sounds like you had a great evenings entertainment.

      • Goldfinch60

        It was a super evening, the alto and tenor sax were playing in the Bird style and the trumpeter tried to do Diz, obviously not as good as them.
        The drummer, Gaz Hughes was tremendous, it is the first time I have heard the tune to Caravan played on the drums!!
        The piano player I could have listened to all evening. All great guys and we had a good chat in the interval.
