Led by Sir George Shearing’s great nephew, drummer Carl Gorham, Shear Brass comes to The Apex for the first time with a fresh and dynamic new approach to the music of one of Britain’s greatest ever jazz pianists and composers.Combining the punch of a big band with the intimacy of a small group, this hard-swinging, highly melodic outfit showcases some of the UK’s most gifted soloists. Whether reinterpreting classics such as ‘Conception’ and ‘Lullaby of Birdland’ or re-introducing lesser-known tunes such as ‘Black Satin’ and ‘Children’s Waltz’, its richly varied live show mirrors Shearing’s own development, encompassing swing, be-bop, cool and Latin jazz, topped off with some of the most celebrated vocal numbers of the 20th century. The show is compered by Carl who brings a unique perspective to proceedings, fusing family history and biography laced with some of the trademark Shearing wit. “An absolute treat for all music lovers everywhere.” — Jools Holland “They don’t come much better than this musical feast.” — Jazzwise “A lovely new take on his legacy.” — BBC Music Magazine Band line up includes (subject to change): Jason Mcdermid – Trumpet/Arrangements Alistair White – Trombone Pete Long – Saxes/Clarinet James Pearson – Piano Anthony Kerr – Vibraphone Alec Dankworth – Bass Carl Gorham – Drums Satin Singh – Percussion Sarah Moule – Vocals
