SUMMARY:Laura Jurd - The Big Friendly Album w/ Support: Situational Soundtrack
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nAbout\nLaura Jurd - The Big Friendly Album\nMusic influenced by Celtic folk traditions\, the blues and a sprinkling of alt-rock\, acclaimed trumpet player and composer alongside a brass-fuelled\, party band of world-class instrumentalists\, brings this colourful new music to life. Big friendly tunes and grooves-a-plenty as Laura continues to share her latest creation in a live setting\, since the album's release in September 2022.\n\n"a big hearted\, gorgeously lyrical\, feel-good romp\, which does not preclude cerebral engagement but which wears its complexities so lightly that one barely notices them." - Chris May\, All About Jazz\nLine-up:\nLaura Jurd - Cornet\, Piano\n\nDanielle Price - Tuba\n\nMartin Lee Thomson - Euphonium\n\nAlex Haines - Guitar\, Electric Guitar\n\nConor Chaplin - Bass guitar\n\nCorrie Dick - Drums\nSupport: Dopey Monkey and Adrian Ortman - SITUATIONAL SOUNDTRACK\nSituational Soundtrack is an exploration into the sounds which form parts of daily life. Inspired by the likes of Brian Eno’s Music for Airports or Erik Satie’s Vexations\, it considers what situational music is or could be as well as closer aspects of the everyday situations we often find ourselves in. The repetition of small routines that add up over the years\, internal sporadic thoughts\, feelings and monologues guiding us through the day and how our everyday consumption of music accompanies our activities and shapes our mood. Using these as a springboard for ideas\, the trio have created a playlist of new music which they hope\, in turn can be used as a soundtrack for someone else’s daily life.\n\n“Listened to your performance today at Jubilee Hall Aldeburgh. Brilliant\, it tickled my insides\, made me laugh aloud and in other moments brought images to mind. Great Stuff.”\n\nDopey Monkey began in 2015 with Danielle Price and Martin Lee Thomson exploring all things tuba and euphonium in an informal concert for friends. They have since become known for their varied creative output\, drawing together their backgrounds in jazz\, folk\, classical and experimental music\, along with their curiosity for storytelling\, cross arts and collaboration.\n\nThe duo was later joined by a long-time friend\, Swedish composer\, producer and percussion powerhouse Adrian Ortman. Together\, the unlikely trio walk between modern jazz\, indie and experimental music making use of song and spoken word paired with catchy melodic lines and improvisation. They have created a series of projects including “Stills” written for YABAI-FEST 2021\, “Now You Know” celebrating the texts of Brian Nisbet and “Slumberous” an exploration into dreams performed in Oslo in 2022. They are a Britten Pears Young Artist Programme Ensemble in Residence for 2022-23.\nLine-up:\nDanielle Price - Tuba\n\nMartin Lee Thomson - Euphonium\n\nAdrian Ortman - Drums\, Vibraphone\, Percussion\n\n \n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/iE-DiUlY-IM[/embed]
