A solo show from Derek. There was a reflective and spiritual tune from the newly-released Matthew Halsall CD On the Move and one of the best tunes from the new Nostalgia 77 release The Sleep Walking Society. It was too hard to resist the temptation to play once more  Gregory Porter’s 1960 What? There was plenty of cosmic, meditative jazz but with a more upbeat ending to the programme as jazz with a Latin vibe took over.
