Outhouse, with its unusual line-up comprising two tenor saxophones, double bass and drums, has developed a unique group sound where spontaneity and interplay prevails whilst forging a strong compositional voice as an ensemble. Outhouse's music is free

'One of the most impressive young bands on the current London Jazz scene.' - Jazzwise

 

 

28th               Jazz Steps presents

                                    Tapestry unravelled

Christine Tobin

Tickets £12.00
£10 concs/£5 Students/ Kids go free

'Tapestry Unravelled' is a beautiful and elegant re-working of songs from Carole King's beloved classic 1971 album Tapestry, alongside originals from the BBC Jazz Awards Best Vocalist Christine Tobin and the highly acclaimed UK jazz pianist Liam Noble.

Tobin and Noble's deferential exploration reveals a deep understanding of the universal relationship between music and emotion. From a smouldering 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' to a dynamic 'I Feel The Earth Move', Tobin and Noble show the range of energy, pace and strength of feeling that can be achieved through the simple, yet most impactful arrangement of piano and voice.

"...the genius of Tapestry Unravelled is the way in which it pays sincere homage to the spirit of the original while simultaneously opening up an entirely new window onto these classic songs........ Definitely one for my year-end 'Best of' list. **** Jazzwise
