5 May:
Jazz Manouche:
guitarist Simon Moore
A welcome return to JATE for this remarkable artist and a very engaging programme of music.
Simon’s eclectic career ranges from UK fusion giants Paraphernalia through pop artisans The Thompson Twins to considerable success composing for TV. Now he turns to his true love, the gypsy jazz of Django Rheinhardt, in a formidable line-up including Polish guitar specialist Ducato Piotrowski and violinist Tobie Medland – director of the Gypsy Jazz Festival of London. This style, also known as Jazz Manouche, originated in France in the 1930s and remains enormously popular to this day – evocative, engaging and highly melodic.
with Ducato Pietrowski: guitar • Tobie Medland: violin • Alec Hewes: bass • Jeremy Shoham: sax/clarinet
