Fantastic gig by the duo of Eddie Prévost and Silvan Schmid at The Glad Café in Glasgow this afternoon.

Sadly double bassist Tom Wheatley was absent from their usual trio, but the two solo sets followed by a brilliant duo performance were the stuff of the elemental. Schmid’s sharpened breath and saliva cut through the earth-wired heat of Prévost’s mesmerising playing.

So wonderful to hear them both perform in the intimacy of this great venue, where I was lucky enough to snag a seat right at the front.

Alt-text for image: Two performers on a small stage:

• on the left, Eddie Prévost sits behind a drum kit, sticks in hand, looking with a fierce intensity at a large crash cymbal.
• on the right, Silvan Schmid stands, eyes-closed, playing his trumpet towards the microphone as though he were transmuting base metal into gold.
