Sunday evening began at Rogue and Vagabond to
hear the Aleister James Campbell Quartet with Lucien Johnson (ts/ss)
Paul Dyne (b) John Rae (d). There was a smaller crowd (but attentive)
than a typical Sunday (no doubt due to Newtown Festival). I'm looking forward to catching Lucien again later in the week.
I
couldn’t really be bothered dealing with the Newtown Festival crowds
during the day so I was glad that Cory Champion’s
‘Clear Path Ensemble’ was performing later in the night. It was nice to get down to the
old ‘hood again – I haven’t spent much time down there since moving
into the city. It seemed that technical issues had delayed the previous
band and the Clear Path Ensemble set seemed pretty short as a result (30
mins max). I was a little disappointed that they were sans horns but
I’m sure festival budgets was a factor in stripping things back a bit.
People still dug it though.
