CyberHalides Jazz » 2014 » Wangaratta Jazz Festival Day Two - 1 Nov 2014

Day two started of with more from Enrico Rava - what a privilege it was at last to hear his quintet playing in Australia. It was a day of some very fine music, particularly from the locals and expats and especially from the Monash students. Like some reviewers, but unlike many others, Jeff "Tain" Watts didn't really do it for me. In his Saturday performance I felt that he was disengaged and just going through the motions. The stand-out performances were Osmany Paredes on piano and ex-pat Troy Roberts on sax.
