I have just come back from one of the best gigs I have ever been to. Who? Why, Courtney Pine at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, that's who. The man IS music. If he's not playing he's dancing, if he's not dancing he's playing and if the audience aren't getting down, they're dead. He's a genius. Period! So much talent. He looks like a friendly version of Predator with a thyroid problem. If you don't know who Courtney Pine is, then I suggest you go to the Jazz section in your library and look up 'UberGod'. The support band were top as well. Badbone & Co their name was. No singing, just pure, unadulterated talent on display. He just let's himself go to a point where you can sense that all he cares about is music. He is my new role model. Every member of the band was ultra-talented at what they did also. The bassist, the guitarist, the drummer and percussionist. It doesn't matter what type of music you like, be it Metal, Rock, Dance, Reggae, Country, he's got something in his magical musical bag for you! He even played his final solo for well over 15 minutes and took a diversion into the crowd, up to the first floor and back out the fire exit! This man is God unto Music, make no mistake!
Yeah, I saw him at the Town & Country Club a few years back when he was flirting with scratch Dj's and drum Drum & Bass style backing. Fantastic.
Mmmmmm...Pine.
I still can't shake the image of 'Jazz Club' from the Fast Show. Niiiice.
