This concert featured an array of jazz talent, all of whom were playing as a consequence of their allegiance to the labour party. The changeovers were slickly organised and so we moved through the acts quite deftly but it still felt a bit like a tasting menu. With mainly two, sometimes one and mostly two pieces each, the artists had only just got into their stride before they were off.
It would be hard to single any particular outstander but the evening was rounded off well by Courtney Pine who invited back on stage many of the stars of earlier sessions.
All in all an enjoyable evening which only for a few moments after the interval with the appearance of John Prescott and Rachel Reeves risked feeling like a party rally.
