The British pop music industry may be eating itself but if Muse are the pick of what it can offer the world in 2010 then British music is in rude health indeed

Power surge: Kenny Garrett
Studious, skull-capped and lightly bearded, Kenny Garrett is not the most expansive of bandleaders, not at least until he puts his saxophone to his mouth. A massive power surge then seems to happen. Last night Miles Davis’s last alto saxman once more demonstrated his exceptional stamina and eloquence at the head of a new group featuring Hammond-organist Johnny Mercier, Fender-bassist Kona Khasa and Justin Brown, latest in a long line of dreadlocked demon drummers to catch his ear.
This young trio shadowed his every move as Kenny built simple riffs into virtuoso 20-minute tours-de-force. Charlie Brown Goes to South Africa was a township-style line with a beautiful key-change into the bridge. Wayne’s Thing, after tenorist Wayne Shorter, developed from a single modal chord but both pieces gained intensity as they cooked along.
With his eyes closed and alto sax bobbing up into the air, the gnomic sage of Detroit held the audience spellbound as he circled slowly around, often turning his back to the audience, a bold piece of showmanship that Miles once pioneered.
“Can you feel it?” he asked fans at the most telling moment. “Yeah,” came the massed reply, and on the right beat, too. Such are the communicative powers of the real Kenny G. So be sure to accept no substitutes.
Until tomorrow. Information: 020 7439 0747.
