Great news that a cd of the Tommaso Starace Organ Trio’s gig last October at The Beaver has just been released. The recording of the gig has been remastered to produce an excellent sound quality and Tommaso’s playing on it is typically inventive and joyous. Together with the fine musicianship of Martin Jenkins and Pip Harborn the band’s performance delighted the audience at The Beaver Inn.

Many thanks to Tommaso for initiating the production of the cd which marks over twenty years of fabulous jazz at The Beaver.

Copies of the cd can be purchased at Beaver jazz gigs from Peter Hames for £10 or from Tommaso Starace on tommasostarace.com for £10 plus £2 post and pack.

The Beaver audience experienced one of the best gigs we’ve had at North Devon Jazz Club last night when the Tristan Mailliot Quartet celebrated the music of Chick Corea. Tom Ridout proved to be one of the finest saxophonists in the UK with his beautiful tone and fluent solos, drummer Tristan drove the band forward with a dense array of percussive techniques, pianist Tom Ball contributed some great solo work and bassist Jim Rintoul very capably underpinned the band.
Thanks to Peter Hames for the pictures.
