Watch and wind

If you were tired of all that singing business, or really like saxophones (or both!) Pressed was the place to be  on Friday as St. John's Ouroboros returned for a show with tourmates The Night Watch. The quintet features four horn players and a drummer, and like to mix their Balkan jazz with a steady dose of world music. Here's saxophonists Greg and Susan and drummer Andrew!



Nicole and Chris round out the combo!



Andrew hits!



Woodwind action!



Extra Greg!



More Nicole and Chris!



More Susan!



Baritone action!



Extra Andrew!



Saxophone action!



Even more saxophone!



The whole lot!



And also a bit of clarinet.



On to The Night Watch; I caught them just last month at Pressed for their CD reveal. The lighting for that show was pretty bad, and I didn't do much shooting; it was a little better this time around. Here's Nathanael on guitar (also from Musk Ox).



Violin action with occasional Ox Evan!



Rythm section action with Daniel and Matt!



More guitar!



Extra Matt!



More Daniel!



Extra Evan!



Even more Nathanael!



Since the stage wasn't crowded enough, the folks from Ouroboros came up to add some horns and percussion.



Side view action!



And so on!



A really jumping show.
