Arnie Somogyi's Ambulance - Accident and Insurgency - The Northern Echo

One of the most enjoyable and stimulating concerts I attended last year was the performance by Ambulance at the Caedmon Hall, Gateshead. It's a strong line up with Paul Booth and Rob Townsend on reeds, Tim Lapthorn piano, Arnie on bass and Dave Smith drums plus American trumpeter Eddie Henderson, not just a guest soloist but a vital member of the ensemble. It's a really integrated and lively band and this clearly recorded CD, made on the same tour, captures it perfectly.
