Bonington Theatre in Nottingham, UK on September 22, 2005
This gig was the first date in the Nottingham Jazz 2005 autumn season and the first date in a UK tour by Mark Lockeart's Big Idea. The tour is to promote Mark's recent CD "Moving Air", featuring the John Parricelli/Dudley Phillips/Martin France rhythm section and Mark on multiple reeds. To perform the music live he enlisted three of the UK's best sax players, and unusually they all (apart from Rob Townsend) doubled on bass clarinet. The four horns produced some lovely sonic textures, and I particularly liked Martin France's powerful and precise drumming.
