"International stars from the USA this week play at Millennium Hall in Sheffield on Friday 13th November as Sheffield Jazz welcome the: New York Standards quartet - David Berkman: piano; Tim Armacost: saxophones; Michael Janisch: bass; Gene Jackson: drums
This New York-based unit have developed a near telepathic relationship within the tradition of the standard jazz repertoire, taking standard songs as a starting point for development with freedom and room for interpretation.
As John Fordham in The Guardian’s glowing, four-star review of their recent tour comments:
“a group devoted to radical reinvention of famous songs ... this vivacious foursome delightedly cherish the originals while brusquely deconstructing their harmonies and tweaking their melodies... This is a collective class act.” ****
