Jason Rebello solo on grand piano @Seven Arts Thursday 18 May 8pm
British pianist Jason Rebello is regarded as one of the most inventive pianists to emerge from the UK since he burst onto the scene in the early 90’s with a run of albums for the BMG label. Jason has worked mainly with electronic keyboards in his own groups (as well as with Sting and Jeff Beck); but now he has decided it’s time to say something on the instrument he loves. Jason has released his debut solo piano album, featuring mostly originals inspired by the people and places that have been important in his career. Support is from Phil Green’s “Quiet Jazz project” 8-8.30pm
