Aspects Of Darkness And Light, Joshua Redman And Friends, Wigmore Hall, 24 April 2014

We were excited about Joshua Redman taking up residency at the Wigmore hall and thought this concert might be right up our street.

In truth, I don’t think the Patrick Zimmerli music on show that night was quite to our taste.

It was an interesting idea blending a string quartet with a jazz trio, but it didn’t quite work for us with this music.

We liked bits of it and were glad we’d been to the concert.

Axis Saxophone Quartet, Wigmore Hall, 2 November 2012

This was the start of Joshua Redman’s tenure as curator of Wigmore Hall’s jazz.

I recall that we were very excited about seeing this one and yet a little disappointed with the concert in the end. We love the sound of sax, but there was something about four saxophones and nothing else that lacked colour for this jazz, to us anyway.

Here is a link to the Wigmore Hall stub for this one.

Masterful playing of course and we enjoyed our evening; just not as much as we’d hoped.
