Budapest Ragtime Band, Teviot Row, Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival



A band I saw, and reviewed, two years ago.  Looking back at what I wrote then there's not much has changed.  The same instrumental line up (but with a  different pianist), the shoes and the hoodie and Bizet are all still there, and so is the slightly offbeat humour and antics to accompany the music.  And it's still fun, still grin inducing, and an enjoyable way to pass the time.  A new highlight was the double bass solo from band leader Fernec Gayer giving a very different twist to a traditional Hungarian folk tune.  The BRD break no grounds musically, but for a combo of ragtime and silliness they can't be bettered.
