I was there again,
There at the jazz club
Not knowing what to expect,
A group I had not heard before
Piano, bass and drums,
Led by a violin.
On the stage they came
And played.
What a sound they made,
I was pulled straight in,
Straight in to their music.
The smile grew on my face,
As it did on all.
Feet were tapping,
Heads were nodding.
The feeling of absolute wonder
Came within me,
Each time they played a new song
They seemed to get better,
And when I looked at them
They were smiling,
All smiling,
Enjoying the music,
The music they were creating
And giving to us,
Us sitting there watching,
Watching and listening,
Listening to this amazing group.
The time went so fast
And so filled with the wonder,
The wonder of their sound.
They finished their last tune
And the roof was raised,
The clapping and cheering so loud,
So loud for this group.
What a wonderful evening,
One that I will remember for ever.

What a performance straight from each musician's heart - - I love good jazz clubs -- was there with you Andy in what was once a favourite night out - -- thanks a load for sharing the video.
So very true, it was the first concert they had done since lockdown and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as did we.
Andy
Envious, I'm just not well enough or I'd be attempting to join you there.
I put headphones on and enjoyed the music.
So sorry you cannot join me, I hope that one day you will be well enough to come and join me at those concerts, last Wednesday of every month.
They certainly surprised us all in what they could do, they were amazing.
Andy
Glad you're enjoying your jazz!
We have a weekly Folk-type group in town. They have visiting players and also some 'Singers Evenings', where members are the singers themselves.
Aww, why no-one turn up on those evenings except me?! lol You knows why.
Thanks Orchi.
One of my acquaintances runs a folk group but I have not heard them - yet.

Enjoyed the music, the poem, the whole atmosphere was great.
'A group I had not heard before
Piano, bass and drums,

what wonderful flow in your lines, almost melodic
(and that lady in the video, is my definition of 'chill') lol
thanks Andy, another gem
Thank you Mek. That lady was absolutely superb, as were the others.
