Bernie McGann and Andrea Keller Quartet @Uptown Jazz Cafe

Best performance I've seen in Melbourne. Thanks to the saxophone player. I have to google and see which band was performing.

Im not lying wen i tell you this but bernie mcgann is actually my next door neighbour...lovely guy

[lainieyeoh]

you should tell your neighbour he made my night :) and that was the best music gig i've seen so far in melbs

Hey, took me a while to figure out it was Bernie McGann, and apparently, even more time to update my video's info :)

Cheers for letting me know the line-up, appreciate it much -- don't think I could have figured out who played in the Quartet so easily.

This gig totally made my night, and just a week or so into Australia too :)

Totally just watched the fotty with Bernie Mcgann tonight in Marrickville, he and his partner were lovely.

whoa! Bernie is an old mate from way way way back! His style is so much more mellow now but it's still HIS style!

At the Pinball Whizz I heard a local alto player who blew me right away!

Bernie Mcgann is the angel of the alto saxophone according to John Clare. (We all agree) Speaking of joy, Bernie is one sweet voice. At first, I couldnt believe his tone and the way he sings on the horn. No one sounds like him. So beautiful so dry and so --- I never heard alto like this before! One and only. He played a Link mouthpiece on alto What a sound. Inimitable. Bernie Mcgann turned my head right around.

@paxandrews

bernie is king, full stop! there's no one who plays better. i live in the states and played with bernie in sydney in the '60s, went to hear him last year on a visit there and he's still the best.
