SUMMARY:lyn Shipton - “Gerry Mulligan” quartet
DESCRIPTION:Gerry Mulligan is perhaps the greatest\, and most famous\, baritone sax player of all time. \n\n\n\n\nJoin us for Alyn Shipton with the “Gerry Mulligan” quartet!\nThis specially formed quartet offers an intimate look at baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan’s musical development throughout the 1950s\, when he formed the first major group in jazz that did not have a chordal instrument\, such as a piano or guitar. The music played ranges from classic pieces played by the initial quartet with trumpeter Chet Baker\, such as ‘Walkin’ Shoes’ and ‘My Funny Valentine’ to the music of its later line-ups with Bob Brookmeyer\, Jon Eardley\, or Art Farmer taking Chet’s place. \nAlyn Shipton is a writer\, jazz musician and host of Radio 3’s ‘Jazz Record Requests’. He has had a lifelong interest in Mulligan’s music and in 2023 published the first full length book on Mulligan’s 1950s Quartets (Oxford University Press). Copies will be available on the night. \nJoining Alyn are Britain’s leading jazz baritone saxophonist Alan Barnes\, drummer Clark Tracey — who has played with all the major names in British jazz — and trumpeter Ian Smith who has been a musical colleague of Alyn’s in many bands for over three decades! \nJazz at St Giles Oxford \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLine-up\n\nHeadliner \n\n\nAlyn Shipton\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlan Barnes\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClark Tracey\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIan Smith\n£12 – £25

SUMMARY:Alex Steele & Catherine Sykes Quartet: The Burt Bacharach Jazz Experience
DESCRIPTION:New jazz interpretations of the music of Burt Bacharach featuring Catherine Sykes (vocals)\, Alex Steele (musical director\, piano)\, Paul Jeff \n\n\n\n\nFrom the 1950’s onwards\, Burt Bacharach created a huge catalogue of compositions\, featuring a very unique style of chords\, harmonies and changing time signatures. It is this creativity in his compositions which has led his music to be greatly explored and appreciated by jazz musicians. Alex Steele leads this new band\, with a set of special arrangements of these classic songs\, pushing the music more deeply into modern jazz territory. You’ll know the songs\, but you won’t have heard them played like this before! \nLeading the quartet\, Alex Steele is a unique voice in jazz\, well-known for his passion\, energy and a deep sense of musicality as a jazz pianist. He has been inspired by his heroes\, Chick Corea\, Keith Jarrett\, Herbie Hancock and Brad Mehldau\, and through his own musical journey\, he has found his own unique voice. Alex brings his own special sense of energy to audiences\, exploring the beauty of improvisation\, zest\, passion and creativity in music. \nVocalist Catherine Sykes expresses one of her most significant musical influences as Ella Fitzgerald. Catherine says “I love the freedom and space of jazz music. There are no set rules\, no boundaries\, no definitive way to sing. Rhythm and melody can be played with\, feelings explored\, day-to-day worries lost in the wonderful world of the music. I love what I do” \n£12 – £22
