Jazz Yorkshire is offering a £200 bursary to under-26’s who would like to participate in the Leeds College of Music Summer School. If you’re interested or know someone who might be, get in touch with Kate Tanner at the college – k.tanner@lcm.ac.uk.
More details about the Summer School (which I’m teaching on alongside Matt Roberts) here: http://www.lcm.ac.uk/courses/Short-Courses/summer-courses/summer-jazz
Robert Laing at Splinter at The Bridge, Newcastle, has very kindly made us these two HD-quality videos of our gig there on the 5th May. The sound and video are really good quality so it’s great to have these up on YouTube.
‘Come Rain or Come Shine’:
‘All or Nothing at All’:
I’m very excited to be teaming up again this weekend with the great Matt Roberts (of Matt Roberts Big Band, Gentleman’s Dub Club and more) playing a selection of the music of trumpeter Lee Morgan.
It’s the third of these we’ve done together – previously we’ve done a Miles First Great Quintet and a Freddie Hubbard project – and it’s a lot of fun to get into playing the music of another giant of the trumpet!
We did Sela last night and coming up are HEART, Headingley tonight (7th June) 7:30pm; Huddersfield Jazz (8th June) and Darlington Jazz (9th June).
