Two recent musical evenings: one at the local monthly jazz club to see an excellent gypsy-style Django Reinhardt/Stephane Grappelli band, Swing from Paris; then, as a lifelong Dave Brubeck fan I couldn’t miss his son, Darius’s, quartet playing in Saint George’s Hall in Bristol. I was pleased that Darius, while including some of his father’s famous quartet’s songs (specifically Paul Desmond ‘s Take Five) also played many of his own compositions and some African-inspired music.
