SUMMARY:Matt Carmichael
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:45 PM\, Music 8:30 PM - 2 sets of music\n \nLine-up:\nMatt Carmichael - Tenor saxophone\nOwen Spafford - Violin\nRory Green - Acoustic and Electric guitar\nFinn Carter - Piano\nCorrie Dick - Drum kit\nAli Watson - Double bass\n\n \nAbout:\nA special one-off London line-up feature some of the UK's most exciting Jazz and Folk musicians. Alongside music from previous albums this gig will also preview new material that sees the music moves into a slightly darker\, more guitar-driven space\, evolving the Scottish Folk-Jazz sound with indie influences.\n\nHeralded by BBC Music Magazine as "a distinctive new voice in a crowded scene\," Scottish saxophonist and composer Matt Carmichael continues to move from strength to strength and grow his reach globally with his powerfully emotive blend of melodic jazz and folk music. Born just outside of Inverness before moving to Glasgow\, where\, at the age of 11\, he enthusiastically ran home from school clutching a letter from his local music service offering saxophone lessons. Music instantly became his passion\, and he soon began writing music for his own band\, performing their first gig at the Butterfly and Pig in Glasgow — before half the band were legally allowed in the pub.\n\nSince then\, the band has developed a special chemistry and sound together\, grounded in collective improvisation. They regularly perform internationally at venues like Bimhuis\, Fasching\, Celtic Connections\, Ronnie Scott’s\, and Love Supreme\, as well as Matt working as a soloist and arranger with the Grammy Award-winning WDR Big Band and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra.\n\nFollowing his critically acclaimed debut Where Will the River Flow (which amassed over 8 million streams)\, Carmichael signed to the renowned label Edition Records for his second album\, Marram. His latest album\, Dancing with Embers included collaborations with Rachel Sermanni and Brìghde Chaimbeul and was shortlisted for the multi-genre SAY awards as well as winning ‘Best Album’ in the Scottish Jazz Awards.\n\n \n\n[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GDXhT78NlV8[/embed]
