SAROST – The Granite Variations
These tracks are the first and second sets of the second night of a six day tour of the South of England, at Fringe Jazz at The Bristol Music Club in Bristol, promoted for many years by the legendary and indefatigable Jon Taylor who wrote the next day
“There’s good and then there’s OFF THE SCALE Bloody Marvellous – The SAROST TRIO last night at Fringe Jazz at The Bristol Music Club.”
“Centipede veteran Larry Stabbins also honoured Keith’s memory as he announced SAROST (pictured below), his trio with Paul Rogers and Mark Sanders, on stage with the greeting “Welcome to the old school!” The improvised music threesome then reaped the benefit of decades of experience in a seamless flow of musical ideas exchanged, shared and evolved in a perfect balance. Storms were whipped up and clarities discovered, looping riffs eventually devolved, anthemic melodies rose out of formless haziness … it was a joy to behold.”
