Bonington Theatre in Nottingham, UK on October 25, 2007
Kirk Lightsey is always a welcome visitor to the Bonington, though the circumstances for this gig were a little unusual. Bassist Steve Watts was unable to make it due to a sudden family illness, so reeds-man Lee Goodall was a very late replacement, arriving at the venue only minutes before show time. This changed the nature of the music, with percussionist Dave Wickens adopting more of a textural role. Three top class players were able to turn a potentially challenging situation into one for exploring the possibilities for improvisation.
