| Nairobi Trio at the Boathouse - Nelson Mail July 2010 |
The Nairobi Trio have a sound all their own. They play funky jazz, are loved for their jauntiness, the humour they share through the music, including their own compositions, and their contemporary interpretation of jazz standards.
Last night, Richard Adams cruised the room, popping in and out, on top of a table at one point, all in the most agile of movements while not missing a beat.
Peter Koopman delivered some impressive bass solos and John Quigley's guitar was strong and gutsy throughout.
Adams has a good singing voice and his lead vocals in a tender version of Chaplin's Smile were lovely, while the trio's upbeat version of Kurt Weill's Mack the Knife was a delightful contradiction to the macabre subject matter.
They are a smooth unit, especially when singing in close harmony.
felt the best was saved for last, with a whirling Eastern European dance that turned into a swinging My Dear Mr Shane, with the Andrew Sisters singing along in paradise.
To this add a great encore from the 1981 Broadway hit Sophisticated Ladies.
Lyricist Don George was reportedly a born cynic until he fell crazily in love.
"I never cared much for moonlit skies, I never winked back at fireflies, but now that the stars are in your eyes I'm beginning to see the light." Good luck from Nelson for your South Island tour. |

Gosh, these guys do it so well. Like the All Blacks, the Nairobi Trio appropriately attired in black, took a little while to build a high octane performance groove, but once they started cooking, there was no holding them back.
Consummate musicians and performers, they read each other instinctively, interspersing elongated and improvised arrangements of standards like Mac the Knife, with their own evocative originals. These are complex, satisfying, multi-layered and textured melodies the band have single-handedly elevated to the status of New Zealand swing and folk jazz classics - genres it is probably responsible for inventing. - Richard Mays |
