SUMMARY:Cleveland Watkiss/ Pete Churchill Quartet - The Jon Hendricks Story
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nCleveland Watkiss - Voice\n\nPete Churchill - Piano\n\nSteve Watts - Bass\n\nRod Youngs - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nCleveland Watkiss and Pete Churchill\, both esteemed figures in the UK music scene\, join forces to pay homage to Hendricks\, widely regarded as one of the greatest jazz poets in history.\n\nJon Carl Hendricks is universally recognised as one of ‘Godfathers’ of Vocalese - the art of lyricising instrumental melodies and improvised solos.\n\nFounder of the groundbreaking vocal group Lambert\, Hendricks and Ross\, Jon lived a long and productive life\, penning countless lyrics for many of the most iconic compositions - leaving a vast new repertoire for Jazz singers to explore.\n\nVariously known as the ‘Poet Laureate of Jazz’ or the ‘James Joyce of Jive’\, Hendricks’ particular skill was in adding a new lyrical dimension to a solo whilst still preserving the sound of the original. Singing an instrumental with a Jon Hendricks lyric\, you often feel as if the words have always been there - he was a Master of sound and meaning.\n\nPete was also fortunate to work with Jon Hendricks himself for the last seven years of his life - helping him to complete his last great masterpiece - the groundbreaking lyricisation of the great Miles Davis/Gil Evans album\, Miles Ahead. Fresh from this experience he is looking forward to sharing new insights into the life and work of the great man.\n\nIn this intimate quartet show\, we are presented with a chance to hear four seasoned jazz musicians explore some of the hippest narratives from the pen of the greatest jazz poet who ever lived.\n\n"Together\, Churchill and Watkiss embark on a mesmerizing expedition\, unveiling the genius of all three: Hendricks\, the visionary poet; Churchill\, the trusted confidant and custodian of archives; and Watkiss\, the masterful vocalist."\n\nRuth Fisher Jazz FM
