THE NONSEMBLE
When Mark de Clive-Lowe first announced that he was putting together a show to reflect his Japanese heritage and invited us to check it out... I was immediately taken.
The first Grand Performance of that show was - not surprisingly - sublime.
The announcement that he was doing three nights at one of L.A.'s very best Jazz rooms to play and record a fine-tuned evolution of that incredible meant that we would HAVE to be there to check out at least one of the performances.
Ended up sitting in for all three. The vibe and beauty the man and his band managed has been very near translated into these recordings... and I am just grinding at the bit - holding on until the first full album is released, so that I can offer a more exhaustive write-up.
In brief... Get this. You want & need to.
