La primera parte de mis crónicas sobre el
Festival de Jazz de Londres acaba de salir en
Cuadernos de Jazz. Se puede leer
aquí.
El balance hasta ahora es muy positivo. En la
BBC se pueden oír extractos de conciertos y otros programas sobre el Festival.
También estoy subiendo comentarios sobre la marcha en
Twitter.

The first installment of my
London Jazz Festival 2010 chronicles is already up at
Cuadernos de Jazz. It can be read, in Spanish,
here.
Although I'm covering a tiny part of this massive event, my balance so far is particularly good. Most of the gigs I've been to have been exciting to say the least. From the three gigs I've reviewed so far,
Chris Potter's Underground gets kudos for being a ridiculously tight band (Craig Taborn's left hand on the Rhodes could easily leave many bass players without a job),
Gwilym Simcock for his solo piano work, and the
Peter King-Art Themen-
Alex Riel band at the
Bull's Head for their frontliners' solos - King and Themen are two very exciting septuagenarians, and the venue for its warm and 'this-is-the-real-thing' atmosphere.
There's still plenty going on, and much of it worth checking out. For music and other programmes related to the Festival, check out the
BBC.
