Cannock, where our Jazz Trio performsTowns, cities and regions have an influence on the style of music, whether it is the 'English Countryside' feel of Vaughan Williams, the strength of Elgar's Victorian Malvern, or the skirl of Northumbrian Pipe tune. Of Cannock, has been said:- " Cannock Chase has a long and proud history; home to Iron Age tribes, a Medieval hunting ground, the site of early industry, wild heathland and an important coalfield with its close-knit communities - all are part of the story of the Chase. But the Chase is now experiencing dramatic changes and much of the evidence of the past has already gone; only memories remain. " Ted Gioia ~ 'We tend to conceptualise composition in jazz as a process of putting black dots on pages. Many commentators make a further leap and assume that greatness in jazz composition will be achieved when we have lots of black dots on lots of pages ... Jazz composition is primarily about creating an invigorating framework and fresh mental space for creativity. The breakthrough in Kind of Blue was in creating a new state of mind ... I am suggesting that the success of a jazz composition can best be determined by what the players do at that point in the performance when there are no black dots to play. In essence one listens to the quality of the improvisations as a way of judging the merits of a composition. If a soloist is not inspired, all the black dots in the world won't compensate for this deficiency. And if the soloists is inspired, just a few black dots - or none at all - will suffice. Even the jazz composers who wrote thick scores - such as Ellington and Mingus - recognised this.'
