Acoustic Alchemy

You just don’t see enough contemporary jazz bands around anymore. It’s a very particular sort of style and I understand it’s just unfortunately more of a background sort of genre in the grand scheme of things, but lets talk about Acoustic Alchemy, a band from London, UK, who walk on to the stage this evening, with no egos, just a bunch of musicians who make fantastic music when they play in this ensemble. They have been together for the best part of thirty years and have understandably gone through many lineups. Maybe this whole contemporary instrumental and smooth jazz idea is a rite of passage for the virtuosic jazz musicians of the world.
