1st Educational vignette with jazz aficionado Steve Gedrose
2nd Featured act, The Wyatt Best Band
“My concept for Jazz in Hall is to perform a set of music, curated to provide a sense of the electric guitar’s versatility, and potential as a lead instrument within a jazz context. While twentieth century popular music was dominated by the electric guitar, it is often overlooked as a jazz instrument. By incorporating repertoire, and techniques, more commonly associated with blues, rock, and popular music I hope to gently expand the idea of what it means to play jazz guitar in the twenty-first century. With an eclectic program of traditional, and contemporary music, and as part of a specially chosen quartet, the unique characteristics of the electric guitar will take centre stage.”
Wyatt Best – guitar, Andy Slade – piano & keyboard, Ragn Royle – upright bass, Graeme Peters – drums
3rd The jazz jam closes out the evening introducing yet more jazz ‘n blues ‘n improvisational musicians including instrumentalists and vocalists sitting in with the band.
