Janek Gwizdala Trio, Jazz Bar, Edinburgh

Star rating: **** As befits a drummer-run establishment, the Jazz Bar's autumn season has introduced Edinburgh's jazz audience to some tasty occupants of the kit stool. Earlier in the run, Ulsterman David Lyttle brought his less is more musicality to guitarist Dave Allen's trio. Now we've had the privilege - for such it was - of hearing Washington's Sean Rickman, a player who can be every bit as understated as Lyttle but who also has reserves of energetic creativity, which he releases through more gears than a mountain bike.
