KINETIKA

Did a rehearsal for "Kinetika" yesterday and as always WOW ,glorious sounds coming from upto 150 young musicians.The repertoire this year covers Fela Kuti Abdullah Ibrahim and is titled "Roads to Freedom"John Edwards the double bassist was at the rehearsal yesterday and was clearly having a ball judging by the constant smiles on his face.As soon as the big drum ensemble section hit we get completely wiped out.They are appearing at the Barbican Centre Foyer this Sunday closing the London Jazz Festival with Giles Peterson so should be a real gas.
