SUMMARY:Becca Wilkins' Rêverie
DESCRIPTION:Doors 6:30 PM\, Music 7:30 PM - 1 set(s) of music\n \nLine-up:\nBecca Wilkins - Voice\n\nOlly Chalk - Piano\n\nSam Ingvorsen - Double Bass\n\nBilly Pod - Drums\n\n \nAbout\nBecca Wilkins’ latest project 'rêverie' is a collection of French Chanson\, reimagined with her trio of Olly Chalk (piano)\, Sam Ingvorsen (bass) and Billy Pod (drums).\n\nDue to record their debut album in late July\, this evening presents a unique opportunity to preview the album's material before the quartet head into the studio.\n\nRêverie reworks the chanson made popular by Jacques Brel\, Yves Montand and Edith Piaf through the lens of contemporary jazz as Becca brings her Francophilia into sharp focus.\n\nThese songs are a canvas for Becca's skills as both a song interpreter and improviser\, with a set that is both brooding and mysterious; vulnerable and atmospheric. Expect haunting ballads alongside runaway waltzes\, intricate counterpoint and masterful extemporisation.\n\nRêverie is a chance to experience Becca’s ‘other worldliness’ (Jazzwise Magazine) in this heady collection of rhapsodic Franco-nostalgia.\n\n‘the singer ventures beyond confessional into the mystic more like lucid dreaming’ ~ The Daily Jazz Blog\n\n‘Murphy's long-time collaborator Wilkins has something of [Brigitte] Beraha's other worldliness' ~ Jazzwise Magazine\n\n \n\nPhoto credit: Ellie Koepke\n\n \n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/IsoVv1lNv0I[/embed]\n\n[embed]https://youtu.be/JKYFCmidM7c[/embed]\n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1BB6_dKCD0[/embed]

Described by The Observer as "One of the tiny handful of undeniably perfect jazz musicians”\, he remains as brilliant and inimitable as ever.\nThemen’s organ trio features organist Pete Whittaker\, formerly of The Nigel Price Organ Trio\, and drummer George Double who has worked as sideman to Shirley Bassey and Jack Jones. The band’s groove-led re-imaginings of quirky curiosities from the jazz canon act as a perfect vehicle for the twinkly mischief of this genuine grandee of British jazz and have delighted crowds at Ronnie Scott’s\, The Royal Albert Hall’s Elgar Room\, Pizza Express Dean St and across the UK.\n\nPraise for the album Thane & The Villeins\n\n"A first-rate trio..an excellent set..Themen is one of the very few totally original\, utterly engaging jazz musicians around" **** Dave Gelly - THE OBSERVER\n\n"Just once in a while one chances upon a new album that is just perfect\, and love at first listen. Thane & The Villeins is one of those rare gems." James Henry - BEBOP SPOKEN HERE\n\n"Magesterial..Art's version of Willow Weep For Me is enthralling" Jack Kenny - JAZZ VIEWS\n\n"Themen\, a veteran master now\, in such eloquent form" **** Peter Vacher - JAZZWISE\n\n"Cracking album...In any other country he'd be regarded as a national treasure" Leonard Weinrich - LONDON JAZZ NEWS\n\n"Boistrous and inventive as ever..funky and swinging" HI FI NEWS & RECORD REVIEW\n\n \n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PVffJtt3J8[/embed]
