Hadrien Faraud with Chick last night

[visog]

Caught the late show at Ronnie Scotts last night. Hadrien was on fire... The new Vigil material sounded good - jazzier and more improvisational than Chick of late.

Also refreshing not to have the endless grand-standing 64th note sprays that every song turned into with RTF in recent years. (Looking at you there Stanley.)

As well as his usual Ken Smith, Hadrien had a Godin fretless five which sounded more acoustic bass than normal fretless. He played that insanely welll too. All in all a great gig - hope the new record captures the same vibe.

Anyone else on BC go? What did you think?
