Beats n Pieces - 24 Jan Yellow Arch Studios
Jez Matthews writes
Happy New Year! I hope you are well and had a great festive period. We’re spreading our wings this season with two gigs at different venues, and we’re also proud to present two milestone gigs; our own 5th anniversary gig featuring the wonderful guitar duo of Stuart McCallum and Mike Walker, and a 10th anniversary gig by the Beats and Pieces Big Band, who’ve just sold out 3 consecutive nights at Ronnie Scotts - we’re putting them on at Yellow Arch Studios, to make sure we can fit everyone in! There’ll be another milestone when we present a long awaited gig by Sheffield-based pianist Piero Tucci, featuring long term musical associates from his formative years in Canada.
We also feature three bands with great new albums; rising star singer/pianist/composer Joy Ellis, an international line-up Bahla, who’s unique, beautiful and cinematic music is sure to light up the lovely Holt Cafe in Sheffield, and also Elliot Galvin’s ground-breaking, energetic and virtuosic piano trio.
Two award-winning, distinctive and powerful sax players (Phil Meadows and Matt Anderson) make welcome returns with new line-ups, and we welcome (at last!) a pianist who’s been making waves, Rick Simpson, with a brilliant new trio. And finally two musicians with links to Sheffield, bass player Seth Bennett and guitarist Jamie Taylor return, Seth with a fiery eight piece line up, celebrating the music of Charles Mingus, and Jamie in his wonderful lyrical and swinging quartet with trumpeter Richard Iles, a welcome repeat of a gig that was one of our highlights in 2017.
Many thanks as ever for your support. Best wishes, Jez.
