15th February we had Cameron Saint with an octet mesmerising us with ‘The Mingus Project’.

A major tour triumph in Narberth

In-spite of the wet and misty evening on Thursday 15th February the Joint was Jumpin’ at the Plas Hotel in Narberth.

Why?

Well an ensemble of eight brilliant young musicians gathered at the hotel to perform examples of Charles Mingus music, as part of their UK ‘Mingus Project Tour’.

A near capacity audience rapturously applauded the superb musicianship of this eight piece group.

Hailing from Cardiff, the 8 incredible young musicians, who are all perfecting their art at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama with tuition from some of the best Jazz artists in the UK!

The lineup includes: Nils Kavanagh – piano; Gruff Owen – drums; Dan Vause – tenor; Em Craig – alto; Tiggy Blackwell – trombone; Toby Kearns – trumpet; Sylvie Noble – vocals; all lead by Cameron Saint – double bass.

Their youth belied their performances, both as individual soloist’s and their ensemble work exhibited a maturity of musicianship and talent well beyond their years.

The set included many of Charie Mingus’s foot tapping compositions including; Peggy’s Blue Skylight, Fables of Faubus and Eclipse amongst the pieces they included.

And man did they swing.

As Charlie (Bird) Parker once said “Music speaks better than words”
