US pianist Steve Cohn alongside saxophonist George Haslam and bassist Steve Kershaw, performing in the beautiful All Saints Church in rural Oxfordshire. The churchyard is the burial place of George Orwell - hence

the ‘Orwell’s Blues’ reference. The music programme attempted to trace influences from folk songs, blues and free improvisation. The trio met for the first time at the church - Steve C arrived in UK the day before; Steve K returned home from holiday also the day before and, as he had a lunchtime gig on the day of the concert, was not able to meet Steve C before it was time to take the stage. Everything that had to be said was in the music.
