Lollo Meier Quartet, All Saints Centre, Lewes 31-07-2006
by Paul Brazier
A sold-out concert of gipsy jazz is an auspicious way to begin a festival.
Just after 8pm, the lights dimmed and rhythm guitarist Dave Kelbie walked on stage, guitar in hand, leading the blind violinist, Tcha Limberger.
Following them came the stand-in bass player, Andy Crowley, and Lollo Meier himself.
They sat down and launched straight into a wonderfully quick, light-hearted tune ñ but all their music is joyous, even the melancholy songs.
They played an array of original and standard tunes, featuring some classic Django Reinhardt such as Nuages and Djangology. But of special note were the Quecumber Waltz and the two songs on which Limberger sang.
His voice, mostly light and romantic, would suddenlydevelop a harder, louder edge, then fall back into more mellifluous tones.
Likewise, he treated us to an astonishing display of virtuoso playing equalled only by Lollo Meier himself on the guitar, with the two of them swapping high-speed licks to great effect by the end of the evening.
A full minute's ovation greeted the last number then the group gradually faded awayover three encores, finallyleaving Meier to perform a short guitar solo piece to end a perfect concert. The festival is off to a swinging start.

European stars beating a path to le Quecumbar’s door include Dutch virtuoso Lollo Meier and his Belgian colleague, the blind violinist-guitarist Tcha Limberger. Backed by two British experts, Jonny Gee (double bass) and Dave Kelbie (rhythm guitar), they made some wonderful music last night.
Dutch players are reputedly more subtle than their French and German counterparts, and sure enough Meier was caressing the strings at the fiercest tempos. Limberger varied his attack, sometimes making the violin speak in a tender, breathy tone. Having warmed up with some Reinhardt favourites, Limberger began switchino deliver his announcements.
