Edinburgh’s leading bop bassist andpianist, Brian Kellock, have long beensecret Tristano admirers and here they are with their tight knit attack onLennie’s oeuvre. Glod is a phenomena – a saxophonist whose monk-like non-stoppractice and study (with very rare publicappearances) has enabled him to developa technique almost without parallel.Applying this to Tristano’s music makes for extraordinary listening. With ChristianRamond (bass) and Klaus Kugel (drums).

Warne Marsh and Lee Konitz were the two saxophonists who Tristano famouslyinstilled with his teachings and 40 yearsago gave one of the most memorableconcerts in Edinburgh’s jazz history. Two of Scotland’s leading players, havegot together to recreate the extraordinarysound of their band. Kershaw plays Konitzand Arguelles plays Marsh, and we hear a short set from the brilliant Roby Glod.
LENNIE TRISTANO DAYLennie Tristano was one of the great jazz innovators. He created a cool, dispassionate,linear approach to improvisation that his fans (audiences and musicians) find intoxicating.Playing and hearing this music is one of the most thrilling experiences in jazz – and yetrarely heard. Two concerts today present music under the influence of Tristano.

Jazz was born in WW1. We mark the 100th anniversary of the Great War by telling onestory you won’t find in this year’s commemorations. It’s the tale of how jazz began itsconquest of the world after the American navy threw it out of New Orleans. This showtakes us back to the seedbed of jazz and charts its joyful progress across the States andaround the globe. In songs and contemporary stories, through the tango and foxtrot,black regiments, religious line-singing and marching bands, we rediscover those earlydays and watch the progress of a musical revolution. We find out how the immensechanges to everyday life, wartime profiteering, escape from misery, sparked theexplosion of this new and sophisticated music. Woody Allen’s musical director, ConalFowkes, will take charge of a stellar ensemble of musicians, and interact with actors,dancers and singers, in this fast-moving show. Find out how Kaiser Bill, by starting a war,accidentally gave us King Oliver, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington!

In each era of jazz, there are bands that define the spirit of the age. For 21st Century jazz,The Bad Plus are such a standout. They’ve absorbed the jazz tradition; they’ve played the cutting edge New York scene; they’ve covered pop tunes and rock anthems of allshapes and sizes; and they’ve made constant quirky and offbeat fun. But they’re seriouslycommitted to their art and a band ethic that focuses on a defining sound – power,intensity, and dynamism applied like never before to the acoustic piano, bass, drumsformat. Ethan Iverson, Reid Anderson and Dave King are master musicians and TBP arelike the Hot Five, The MJQ, The Miles Davis Quintet, The Ornette Coleman Quartet – thedefining band of jazz in 2014.
“Striking themes, nonchalant time-bends and full-on collective improv, and proof of thisawesome ensemble's continuing evolution” (The Guardian).
