Albert Newton, Bar Sonic, Deptford 08.03.08 from nearer dark on Vimeo.

Albert Newton are Charles Hayward (drums), Harry Beckett (trumpet), Pat Thomas (keyboards) and John Edwards (double bass)

They play amazing experimental improvisational jazz, and if you ever get a chance to see them, you should jump at it.

Bar Sonic is lovely but quite dark, particularly around the parts of the stage where the drums and keyboard were, so I had to do rather a lot of fidgeting with the video, and then used the filter that looks like a succession of Blue Note covers. Well, it does to me...

Charles Hayward has a myspace here. He's a bit of a genius.
