Seeing this big band gig reminded me of the previous Tolliver Big Band performance in London, around 2007 I think, which I caught at QEH. Kevin Le Gendre introduced that one too. From memory, I remember Billy Harper, Howard Johnson, Kiane Zawadi, Kirk Lightsey, Reggie Johnson and Alvin Queen I think, as being in the lineup. Tolliver did a Q&A with Le Gendre before the show and at the interval break I somehow got roped into a TV recording being done by James May just outside the hall !

That Tolliver show was in 2007. I was on that gig! I don't remember everyone who was there but Kiane Ziwadi was probably not there and Alvin Queen definitely wasn't. I don't think Alvin ever played with this version of the big band. Gene Jackson probably played drums.

Yes David, come to think of it I do remember you in the trumpets. Alvin Queen I was probably confusing with the much later Strata-East tribute but I do have recollections of Kiane Zawadi playing a bass trombone. Wish I'd made a written list at the time. Gene Jackson - yes, that rings a bell.

The TV show still gets repeats on various channels and the back of my head can be briefly glimpsed !
