Peter Edwards Trio / Binker Golding Quartet... review

Saturday 19 March  Kings Place   Review & photos: Roger Thomas

Well, on Saturday at Kings Place, it was all about Dune Music. Two of its proteges were being featured, namely Peter Edwards and his Trio followed by Binker Golding with his Quartet. 

Kings Place billed the event as "Nu Beginnings," and although these two both missed the gestating Teen Warriors phase they have clearly benefited from the Tomorrow's Warriors nurturing and their ethos of 'from the cradle to the stage'.

It's Peter Edwards - piano that first takes the stage featuring Max Luthert - bass and Saleem Raman - drums. They hit us with an Edwards composition Byron's Blues. No formal introduction, but I guess that was to affirm that they understand and acknowledge traditional things.
