SUMMARY:Dave Ferris Group featuring Maria Väli
DESCRIPTION:A chance to hear one of the new great musicians out of Birmingham. This band was originally formed in October 2016 by Birmingham-based pianist and composer David Ferris. The music written for this band draws from his experience of playing in large fully-orchestrated groups\, and smaller more improvised settings\, and focuses on melody and warmth\, with influences ranging from John Scofield to Fred Hersch to The Beatles.\nFor their debut album recording\, the band was joined by special guest singer Maria Väli\, a graduate of the renowned Trondheim Conservatory and member of the multi-award winning Estonian Voices. The new music for the project includes settings of poems by WB  Yeats\, Seamus Heaney\, WH Auden and Ted Hughes. That this has been supported by Arts Council England gives an indication of its quality.\nDave Ferris is a name to watch from the scene in Birmingham. Having graduated with a first class degree from the Conservatoire\, where he was taught by the likes of Hans Koller\, he continues to mentor young musicians and develop new projects. He has been previously at the Vortex as part of the Birmingham Jazz Orchestra.\nhttps://youtu.be/akpkVjU2mZc\n\n\nMaria Väli - Vocals\nDavid Ferris - Piano\, Composition\nHugh Pascall - Trumpet\nRichard Foote - Trombone\nChris Young - Alto and Soprano Saxophone\nVittorio Mura - Tenor and Baritone Saxophone\nNick Jurd - Bass\nEuan Palmer - Drums\n“One to watch.” - Helen Mayhew\, Jazz FM\n“A young musician of great promise.” - Ian Mann\, thejazzmann.com\n\n\n\n\n
