David Skinner is a young pianist who is active as a professional musician in the North of England. His main roots lie in jazz; however his playing reflects an interest in other styles, such as western classical music, the blues, ragtime, and Eastern European folk music. His interests in jazz include particularly stride piano, bebop, and free music from the 1960s to the present day. He is also influenced by the contemporary Norwegian creative music scene. |

PAUL HESSION: - PERCUSSION |

The New York based pianist Borah Bergman has been widely acclaimed for his
astonishing technique and musical intelligence.
"Bergman has perhaps the most comprehensive technique of any jazz musician
on any instrument. His facility is nonpareil with both hands. Bergman can
improvise spontaneous free counterpoint at unfathomable speeds and with
remarkable precision. His utterly personal style is due in no small part to his
own technical innovations; no pianist in the history of jazz has ever developed
more speed and agility in his left hand. Additionally, Bergman has refined a
technique of playing with crossed hands that augments his fluency to an even
greater degree. Bergman's greatest attributes are, however, the staggering
quality and quantity of his ideas, and the ineffable intensity with which he
executes those ideas. Bergman is of a kind with the very greatest jazz
musicians in terms of originality and inspiration" (www.allmusic.com)
For this concert - his only UK date - Bergman will be paying will be playing a
brand new Steinway 9' concert grand piano. He will be joined by two eminent
British improvisers, the saxophonist Lol Coxhill ("a vastly talented soprano
specialist with an utterly individual tone; it ranges from aching sweetness to
hard-edged multiphonics"-- Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD, 2002) and Paul Hession
("a drummer of subtlety and power"-- Guardian, 2003). The opportunity to see
three musicians of this calibre engaged in spontaneous, unfettered and
collective improvisation is surely one to relish. |
