The first half of Scottish National Jazz Orchestra and Royal Scottish National Orchestra's infectious fusion of classical and jazz was, in the words of Gerry Cinnamon, a belter. As was Tommy Smith's arrangement of Rhapsody In Blue which kept both audience and musicians on the nails of their own toes!

Great start to the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra's trio of Duke Ellington gigs in Glasgow tonight with excellent support by Tommy Smith's Youth Jazz Orchestra whose diversity, gender balance and above all talent is a breath of fresh air. The "sophisticated lady" Lucy-Anne Daniels in fine voice.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra youth orchestra's Big Band Jazz In The Afternoon gig at the Tollbooth in Stirling directed by Sean Gibbs whose Robert Burns-inspired tunes were excellent. Next up for the band: Eastgate Theatre in Peebles followed by St Brides Centre in Edinburgh.
