Jazz: John Law’s Recreations

Tickets: Adult £14, Concs £12, Child £5

Classically trained and now one of Europe’s leading jazz pianists, John Law presents his quartet playing well known tunes from the world of jazz and pop, (and occasionally classical), featuring Parliamentary Jazz Award winning saxophonist Sam Crockatt.

Alongside reinvented classic jazz standards the quartet plays intriguing new arrangements of a wide variety of well known tunes. So Debussy’s Clair de Lune might sit alongside a rhythmic re-imagining of Smoke on the Water; or a boogie-type reshaping of Blowin’ in the Wind rubbing shoulders with a baroque rearrangement of Fly Me to the Moon; some of the best known tunes in the world played really creatively!

As well as the melodic invention of saxophonist Sam Crockatt, the quartet features Danish bass player Henrik Jensen and a new young firebrand on the UK jazz drumming scene, Alex Goodyear.
