London City Big Band rides again!

I had an incredible time on Wednesday evening performing with the London City Big Band at Ronnie Scott's. It was so great to be in front of a live (albeit socially distanced) audience and perform the incredible music of Count Basie et al alongside this collection of fine musicians. We were like a coiled spring that had finally sprung, it was such a joy to be back together making music!
Singer Sara Dowling was our featured vocalist who sounded absolutely world class, she is an extreme talent and tells the story of a song in such a genuine way!
Below are some photos from the performance. As you can tell, I'm still buzzing!
Or on instagram, if you're that kind of cool kid;

Let's hope this marks the opening up and easing of restrictions as we move back to what I affectionately call 'the beforefore times' as more gigs come through!
I've also been busy rehearsing some new original compositions of mine with the Urban Big Band and I can't wait to premier some of them when they have their first live performance back on August 8th at Loughton Jazz Club, more information about that coming soon!
Stay safe!

'This 17 piece contemporary big band is one of the boldest - and most eccentric - large jazz ensembles performing today.'

'There are more than enough reasons to catch him again. Very soon.'

'If you haven't heard it - you should.'
