The mission of the Brighton Jazz Coop is to organise a regular programme of educational jazz improvisation workshops in Brighton, Sussex, UK
Julian Siegel Quartet @ Brighton Jazz Club
Date: 26 October 2011 06:55
Dear All,
This Friday we are delighted to welcome back one of the finest
quartets on the international jazz scene led by the prodigiously
talented Julian Siegel. The following is by John Styles from our
website:
JULIAN SIEGEL Reeds
LIAM NOBLE Piano
OLI HAYHURST Bass
GENE CALDERAZZO Drums
Julian's band promises to be another highlight from an already
fascinating musician and his peers. As well as being a platform for
his soloing and compositions, it's a showcase for all of these highly
individual virtuosi.
Julian has established himself alongside the most creative forces in
the UK, USA and beyond; as one quarter of the influential Partisans
and a former member of Loose Tubes, he helped take the small jazz
group sound into new areas. As well as playing with major composers
and bandleaders such as Mike Gibbs, Hermeto Pascoal, Andrew Hill,
Steve Lacy and Django Bates, he formed a trio including the
influential US rhythm pairing of Greg Cohen and Joey Baron.
Tonight's quartet toured around Europe earlier this year as part of a
special festival of UK jazz; they have a new CD available, Urban Theme
Park, which is already gaining praise for the inventive range of
styles on display. It features all tonight's players; Liam
consistently delivers a world class sensibility as pianist, composer,
bandleader and as a recent partner on Christine Tobin's Tapestry
performance.
Oli's experience includes the finest jazz players – Gwilym Simcock,
Tim Whitehead, Bobby Wellins, Zoe Rahman, Jim Mullen – and leading
Irish folk singer Cara Dillon. He was a founder member of the Orient
House Ensemble, and has since toured the Middle East with Reem Kelani.
Gene remains one of our most popular visiting drummers. He brings a
taste of his native New York to his playing, and the wealth of
experience and work rate gained during his studies on the famed
Berklee jazz course – not for the faint-hearted, with fellow students
being Marvin 'Smitty' Smith and Jeff 'Tain' Watts. His most
established presence in the UK is alongside Julian in Partisans, and
he also appears with Zoe Rahman, Christine Tobin, Bobby Wellins and
others.
For more information see www.juliansiegel.com.
Tickets, priced at £15/13 are sold on the door*, in advance (up to 1pm
on the Friday of the performance) from The Dome Box Office (Tel: 01273
709709), and online through Brighton Ticket Shop
www.brightonticketshop.com
*Please note that doors open at 7:30 pm with first set starting at
8:00 pm. Show will finish by 10:30 pm.
Very best wishes,
Tim Haillay

Terry Seabrook will be continuing his fascinating into to bop

A reminder that Saturday lunchtime gigs at the dome foyer continue and

Great session last night
After a fantastic session on be-bop last night here is early notice of the plan for next weeks tunes. I'll be putting the handout either on Scribbed or in Dropbox so that you can download at your leisure. I'll
send a link separately. The handout was only emailed out on Monday so lots of you had not seen it last night. Hopefully this will sort it.
Terry's instructions below make it clear which pages you will need to print out and bring with you.

any chance of getting future dots or what tunes you are going to work on for Saturdays for future workshops so that I can send out to members who can sort the basics of chord familiarity and reading before they get there?
Thanks

Hi Terry
I might have sent the last email to the wrong address. Can you let me know what tunes you are going to do on Tuesday please?
Thanks
Steve
BMJC Tuesdays workshop
Terry Seabrook will be running the sessions for the next three weeks
on the basics of bop. Something you've always wanted to know. Terry
presents complex ideas in a very accessible way and has been a popular
tutor for the Coop for the past 25 years.
We also have our regular gig on Saturday lunchtimes, 1.00 at the Dome
Foyer. Good coffee, cakes, company and ambience. Today Annoie and Greg
will be playing.
The blog still is misbehaving. Corrado is going to try and sort it out
but the usual info that you find on the right hand side is at the
bottom of the page. The blog has had over 12,000 hits to date.
