JazzLeeds have just announced five stunning evening live concerts this autumn on Thursday nights at Seven Arts. Each will have two performances at 7pm and 8.45pm, with a finish time at 10pm. You can choose whether you want the early evening or late evening performance. Fully distanced and at seat table service.
Thus 29 Oct Fergus Mcreadie Trio
Fergus McCreadie: piano; David Bowden: bass; Stephen Henderson: drums. Our first evening concert of the autumn will feature Fergus McCreadie, a phenomenal young pianist and his trio is one of the most exciting young groups in European jazz at the moment. They were the winner of Album of the Year in the 2019 UK Parliamentary Jazz Awards for their album “Turas”.

Thus 12 Nov Ian Shaw, Ian Ballamy, Jamie Safir “What’s New”
One of the world’s finest male jazz vocalists, Ian Shaw, teams up
with legendary UK saxophonist, Iain Ballamy (who has played with Hermeto
Pascoal, Loose Tubes, Norma Winstone) and irrepressibly brilliant
pianist Jamie Safir (Will Young, Elaine Delmar, Judi Jackson). Expect a gloriously lyrical travelogue from early American song
through Ellington, Horace Silver and Billy Strayhorn to Joni Mitchell.
With Shaw’s comedy chops, Ballamy’s ability to push a melody somewhere
magical, and Safir’s symphonic piano playing, there’s plenty to look
forward to…
Thus 26 Nov Josephine Davis “Satori”
Josephine Davies – Sax, Oli Hayhurst – Bass, James Maddren – Drums A melodic and intimate gig by this superb trio. Satori is a
Coltrane-inspired spiritual jazz trio with a focus on melodic freedom
and band interaction led by saxophonist and composer Josephine Davies
who won Jazz Instrumentalist of the Year in the 2019 Parliamentary Jazz
Awards. Their 2017 debut album attracted wide critical acclaim in the UK
and Europe while their 2018 follow up ‘In The Corners Of
Clouds’received equally glowing reviews. “irrepressible tunefulness”
(Downbeat); “consistently inventive” (Jazzwise); “spiritual,
spiralling, slow-burning exuberance” (UK Vibe).
Thus 3 Dec Nigel Price and “Wes Reimagined”
Nigel Price – Guitar, Ross Stanley – Hammond, Joel Barford – Drums,Vasilis Xenopoulos – Tenor Saxophone. Nigel Price is one of the UK’s leading jazz guitarists and a tireless
supporter of live music, so it is with great pleasure that we welcome
him back, leading his Organ Trio in an evening of tunes made famous by
the legendary guitarist Wes Montgomery. Nigel Price is one of the most
hardworking jazz musicians in the UK, managing to secure an Arts
Council-funded tour even during lockdown, and guaranteed to provide an
evening of foot-tapping straightahead bebop with a funky edge. The
Trio’s special guest Vasilis Xenopoulos brings a committed melodic tenor
saxophone edge to the band, in the tradition of Dexter Gordon.
Thus 17 Dec Adrian Knowles and Sound of 59
Joel Purnell Tenor Saxophone, Jim Corry Alto Saxophone,
Mark Chandler Trumpet, Kevin Holbrough Trombone, Jason Scott Piano, Adrian
Knowles Double Bass, Caroline Boaden Drums A welcome back to this group by bassist Adrian Knowles that were such
a hit at last year’s Jazz Leeds Festival. Celebrate International Jazz
Day with this pivotal year in jazz history. 1959 was special – it saw
the release of classic jazz albums by Charlie Mingus, Miles Davis, Dave
Brubeck, John Coltrane and many others. “Sounds of 59”, led by bassist
Adrian Knowles and featuring some of the best of jazz musicians from
Leeds, recreate the music with both music and visual displays.
