Pete Churchill Trio
Friday, 26 February 2010, 08:30 PM - 11:15 PM
Pete Churchill – voice and piano, Dave Wickins – drums, Steve Watts - bass
Many singers with the jazz label have come to prominence in recent years - a few stand out for their exceptional musicality and creativity – we are delighted to present two of the best on consecutive concerts. Pete Churchill’s wonderful vocal prowess is perfectly complemented by the driving swing of his piano playing. Equally valued as a performer, educator and musical director: MD for mark Murphy, conductor of the Kenny Wheeler Big Band, director of huge multi-choir commissions – a breadth of musical talent which many “jazz singers” could only dream of. “..a warm, rough-edged, lived-in voice which brings added resonance to the lyrics .. an unusually responsive accompanist, joined here by regular colleagues Steve Watts and Dave Wickins, a rock solid team.” Chris May - All About Jazz “.. certainly sounds like the fruit of maturity.” Dave Gelly - The Observer
