Liam Noble - Friday 9 October
Neil Pepper writes
Time for a reminder today of Sheffield Jazz’s great
line-up of bands for October
The Millennium Hall season begins with a bang on Friday 2nd
October with European stars Kit Downes, accompanied by Petter Eldh
on bass and James Maddren on drums. Based in London and Berlin, these three
have toured the world to great acclaim, but here they shine collectively as
experimentalists and improvisers.
They’re followed the week after at Millennium Hall on Friday 9th October by Liam
Noble in a rare opportunity to see him playing solo and featuring his new
solo recording, which reflects his amazingly eclectic approach.
Expect Zawinul, Rodgers & Hammerstein, Miles and Elgar !
We then move on Saturday 17th October to
the Crucible Studio, with Jean Toussaint’s Blakey Project,
featuring Jean Toussaint on saxes, Byron Wallen on trumpet, Dennis Rollins on
trombone and Julian Joseph on piano. The project commemorates Art Blakey’s
massive contribution to modern jazz, exploring his music and the amazing
players that emerged from the Messengers over 40 years.
Our final band in the month on Friday October 23rd
at Millennium Hall is the exciting, emerging Alice Zawadzki Band
featuring Alice Zawadzki on vocals and violin, Peter Lee on piano and Alex Munk
on guitar. Producing jazz that’s inflected by soul, East European folk and
classical she’s “ fast making a mark on the UK contemporary scene”
(Manchester Jazz Festival).
