Reviews

"If Richard Briers and Felicity Kendal from “The Good Life” ever opened a bar, it would be a replica of the 78. Specialising in vegan cuisine and organic ales, this is a new age tavern where tie-dyes munch on spicy falafel and sip cloudy cider. Every Sunday afternoon this chic commune is home to some of the best young jazz artists in Scotland – Tom Gibbs (Piano), Euan Burton (bass) and Stuart Brown (drums).

Heavily influenced by jazz modernists’ Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter, the trio blaze wildly over the post bop canon - fusing Rhodes piano with an acoustic double bass and drums. Their sound is fresh and exciting, but tastefully demure in its delivery. You’ll find 78 on Kelvinhaugh street, half-way between Glasgow city centre and the West End, in an ethnic hub choked with new world restaurants."    MODALJAZZ.COM
