Strange venue – a Roman Catholic parish centre, and I was standing under a picture of the Pope. Unusual audience – the local MS society’s monthly social gathering. I wasn’t sure what they’d make of us.
Occasionally they have entertainment of some kind or other, but this was the first time they’d had a jazz quartet playing bebop and modern.
We had been warned that they usually talked through ‘the acts’. But this time they didn’t. They listened. They liked it and they told us so.
It confirmed my belief that if you play good tunes with passion and honesty people will respond well, even if they don’t usually listen to that type of music.
