Umbria 12th July Mark Knopfler, Trio Reinhardt, Bobby Hutcherson & Cedar Walton

Tonights show features Mark Knopfler in the arena and around midnight at the Morlachi the great Bobby Hutcherson playing with the Cedar Walton trio.

But first in the beautiful oratorio Santa Cecilia we saw the great David Reinhardt (grandson of Django) playing with rhythm guitar and bass. A wonderful player in his grandfathers footsteps and a great band who played with great flair and no little humour too. They were joined by the bass players sister for two vocal numbers at the end - great stuff!
