[concert] Colin Steele (trumpet) / Robert Pettigrew (piano)

[tamaranth]

"Flat fives and strange movements in the chords," said Steele, introducing one of his own compositions.

Today's Anglia Ruskin lunchtime concert (a selection of jazz) did nothing to change my opinion* about jazz. But it did not distress me in the way that some avant-garde jazz does, and while the music made no sense to me (indeed, I scribbled myself a note about the pseudo-Neanderthal music being more 'musical' to my brain) I was able to appreciate the musicians' skill, both in playing and in interpretation.
