Simon Lasky's 50th Birthday Show
606 Club, SW10 0QD , [Venue Details]Winner of the 2018 British Composer Award for ‘Jazz Composition for Small Ensemble', Simon Lasky juggles a busy career as a composer, pianist, NPR jazz host and recording artist on both sides of the Atlantic.
Now resident in Florida USA, Simon's background includes extensive study of both classical and jazz music which is reflected in his latest album, 'The Dreamers' (Ubuntu Music) which was launched here at the 606 in 2024. The album’s eight tracks (a mix of Simon’s original compositions and his arrangements of well-loved songs), were fashioned from his personal experiences during the pandemic, as well as the inspiration & comfort he found in the works of artists such as Miles, Bill Evans and Mahler. For this performance, Simon will feature tracks from that record along with fresh new compositions and choice standards. Along with Simon on keys, bringing this music to life is an extraordinary band: Shanti Jayasinha-trumpet/flugelhorn, Brandon Allen-tenor saxophone, Geoff Gascoyne-bass and Sophie Alloway-drums. This is Simon's only UK show this year, so don't miss it!
“Uplifting improvisational grooves, classy chops and exotic percussion, there’s no shortage of beautifully striking moments.” All About Jazz; “a joyous exuberant piece, brilliantly crafted on all levels, and with great textural and melodic writing.” BBC Radio 3
