"Eastside Jazz Club"

Free Lunchtime Jazz

Three senior students lead their bands in consecutive sets of contemporary jazz. It’s the perfect way to look in on what the next generation of jazz musicians are inspired by.

James Osborne Jackson "Duo"
James Osborne Jackson
piano, violin and Nyckēlhårpä
Ollie Talbot drums

James says: "Our plan is to perform an extended open improvisation off the back of our explorations over the last few months of various different types of folk dances - playing a lot with getting the drum kit into these contexts etc. As well as piano I'll be doubling on violin and Nyckēlhårpä."

Harvey Lees Trio
Harvey Lees bass
Hazel Greenwood piano
Rufus Reader drums

Harvey says: "We are playing a selection of standards arranged for trio, which will include..."

Chick Corea Litha
Bill Evans Comrade Conrad
George Gershwin I Loves You Porgy
Vincent Youmans (with arrangements from the Sonny Rollins version) Without A Song

Kyle Welch Trio
Kyle Welch bass
Nathan Thomas piano
Josh Rose drums

Kyle says: "My band is myself, Nathan Thomas on keys and Josh rose on drums. We will be playing in the style of Nathan's upcoming trio album (same band) and taking things back to the roots with some nice standards."

Running time approx. one hour and 40 minutes
