Last night Salisbury International Arts Festival played host to that great New Orleans (or 'Nawlins' as he called it) clarinet player Evan Christopher and his Quartet, and treated us to the wonderful melange of music which features on his latest album 'Django a la Creole'. Combining the music of Django Rheinhardt with the delicious flavours of creole from his hometown, the audience enjoyed Evan playing such favourites as 'Nuages' and 'Djangology', all with tremendous solos by Australian guitarist Dave Blenkhorn whose virtuosity left nothing lacking. Fellow Djangologists Sebastien Girardot (bass) and Dave Kelbie (guitar) rounded the Quartet out to leave the assembled fans wanting for nothing except maybe encores. You can a selection of my images here.
