It was great! Amazing energy - looking forward to the next one in Notts!

What can I say about Chip Wickham at Ronnies on Saturday. A quite astonishing performance from one of the finest sextets I've ever heard at the hallowed room. From the very first note, you knew something special was about to happen. You could feel the essence of Coltrane, Lateef and The Pharoah coursing through the veins of each member. Chips tribute to the great man, " Astral Travelling" of course, brought a tear to my eye, and the World exclusive of a new track " Space Walk" was as if Lonnie Liston Smith had sat at the keys, and Brother Donald had picked up the flute for one last hurrah. Mind blowing. And to top it all, a tribute to the great Tubby Hayes, Chip blowing and scatting like the man himself had all those years ago, when putting Ronnie's on the map. An extraordinary night, and I can't wait to do it all again. Thanks Chip, what a treat!!

It was an absolute privilege to see these guys at RS. Musicians of the highest quality at the top of their game.
