Details

This band was formed as a quartet to play the last set at the Appleby Jazz Festival playing various Latin-based numbers. Art Themen was to join us for a few numbers but, as it wasn't his round there seemed to be point in keeping him at the bar! He joined us right from the start, and an hour later, as a conga line swayed past, fuelled by a heady combination of exotic rhythms and Black Sheep Bitter, I knew we were on to a winner!

Reviews

Barnes is one of our most eclectic players and Themen has been impressive over the years. Both have a natural energy and energy is what is essential for the tough Latin jazz which they feature here.
