Just a few pics. Gossips had a great little gig last night with Mark Body sitting in on drums when Brenton was not available. I’ve played with Mark before, but the rest of the band hadn’t met him before last night. Mike joked that “it’s one of those gigs where you finish the night and ask again what’s the drummer’s name”. Mark played easily and steadily on a range of tunes that he’d played or not played or not heard. Drummers can do that more easily than most, but he did well to handle some extra 2/4 bars in one tune that could turn the beat. And several decent solos, too. This gig had another sit-in, this time from the floor. I hadn’t met Perrin Lionis before. He’s a pianist who’s currently at the jazz school. We chatted at the gig and Perrin took the piano stool for three tunes (Beautiful love, Ladybird and All blues). He’s a current student so has that seriousness of artistic intent and immersion that comes from playing and studying full time. Great stuff, much enjoyed. Thanks to both Mark and Perrin. Excuse the fuzzy pics – I only had my mobile.
