	The recent recordings from a New Jazz Revolution performance in early June demonstrate the breadth of their sound capabilities. From the dark bass-and-drum-driven 12 minute version of Red Clay to the dreamy psychedelic vibes on So What, the essence of 'Summer Jazz' is not lost on any of the songs performed. Aside from the straight jazz and fusion numbers covered, two exciting bossa nova tunes were featured - Horace Silver's Song For My Father, and Kenny Dorham's Blue Bossa; the latter was aired using acoustic guitar. Delving into the repertoire of Herbie Hancock, the NJR reviewed his undying 70's funk anthem Chameleon, giving the band the oppurtunity to experiment with a wide variety of synth sounds. The famous low-end intro was played on electric bass and marches confidently all the way through this epic song. Nevertheless, the finest moment in this gig came in the form of the bluesy Cantaloupe Island - another Hancock number, which the NJR nailed easily with superb solos all round. A fitting end to a fantastic summer's day, and thanks are in order to techy Alex - without him we would not have these great recordings, nor the keys on such numbers as So What and Chameleon.
