Sunday Lunch 14 June 1:30pm: Gareth Lockrane Big Band
Gareth Lockrane has established himself as one of the finest jazz flautists in Europe, with a string of high profile appearances alongside the likes of the James Taylor Quartet, Natalie Williams and the late, great, Bheki Mseleku. It is a measure of Gareth’s international standing that he was named “Rising Star on Flute” in the prestigious Downbeat Critics Poll (USA), just one of many awards and accolades he’s received. Performing his brilliant arrangements of a mix of originals and the odd classic jazz standard, the ensemble inevitably attracts a host of high-profile award-winning players, today including Jon Shenoy, Sam Glaser, Julian Siegel Music, Graeme Blevins, Tom Smith; Brinley Heywood, Gabriel Taylor, Sid Gauld, Henry Collins; Trev Mires, Olli Martin, Harry Maund, Jim Owen; Ross Stanley; Mike Outram; Ryan Trebilcock; Ian Thomas and Pat Levett.
And to make things even more exciting, the ensemble recently released its second, highly anticipated album, "Box of Tricks" (Whirlwind Recordings) which is already receiving reviews such as this one from UK Jazz News "This excellent album is not so much a Box of Tricks as a carefully lit display case of gemstones". Promises to be a thrill!
"The band plays a roof-lifting mix of fresh grooves…and blistering…solos from some of the country’s finest musicians. Music to make you smile, dance, and…admire, very special" Jazz FM
