JOE LEE WILSON GIG 15TH APRIL 2010

The first Kineojazz gig at The Basement was a great success.
The pressure was on when the tickets sold out almost a week before
leaving many people ticketless and, presumably, disappointed.
However, from the moment Ela's band Remember April went on we
would tell that the evening was going to be special.

With fifty years of gigging behind him, Joe Lee knows how to the
attention of an audience and he won them over from the moment
he stepped on the stage. Though looking a bit frail, he has a big
soulful voice and he chose material that was very accessible
including standards (Violets For Your Furs), gospel (May The
Good Lord Bless and Keep You) and hard bop classics (Song
For My Father).

Following the gig the kineojazz team had lots of feedback from
people who may not typically go to a jazz gig - "beautiful",
"excellent", "enjoyable", "life affirming", "a great gig".

Bellow are photos document some highlights from the evening.
