(trumpet

Picture: HECTOR BEVERIDGE
"This was a
performance that felt different from the start, not only
because of the modern jazz, but an underlying mischievous
humour...How pleasant also to see such a range of original
music, with curiously humorous titles, played by the
composers and each member of the quartet understanding what
the composer wanted out of each piece."
