Spotlight on Jazz Legends Jason Rebello
Liane Carroll London born and Hastings raised, award winning singer-pianist Liane Carroll is one of the UK’s greatest musical treasures. A soulful, emotive singer, she is capable of reducing listeners to tears with her heartbreaking ability to inhabit a lyric or of making an audience jump for joy with her breath-taking vocal virtuosity. What really makes Carroll stand out however is the way that she delivers every song as though she wrote it. A classically trained pianist since she was three, she possesses a true musicality that lifts her interpretations into the realms of art in their own right and to hear her sing event the best-known standard or the most hackneyed pop song is to hear that song afresh. Liane will perform a solo concert in Bennigans Bar and Jazz Club on Friday 29th April at 4pm.
6
British pianist Jason Rebello is regarded as one of the most inventive pianists to emerge from the UK since he burst onto the scene in the early 90’s with a run of albums for the BMG label. Jason has worked mainly with electronic keyboards in his own groups (as well as with Sting and Jeff Beck); but now he has decided it’s time to say something on the instrument he loves. In early 2016 Jason will release and tour his debut solo piano album, featuring mostly originals inspired by the people and places that have been important in his career. Jason will perform material from his new solo album in Bennigans Bar and Jazz Club on Sunday 1st May at 3pm.
Gay McIntyre
Jean Toussaint
Often hailed as Derry’s own Father of Jazz, Gay McIntyre has been entertaining music lovers in the North West for over 60 years.
Born in the Caribbean, Grammywinning jazz saxophone giant, Jean Toussaint started his musical career in a calypso band before studying jazz at the prestigious Berklee College of Music in Boston. He began his international career as a member of Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers in 1982. After four and a half years in the band alongside Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, Lonnie Plaxico and Mulgrew Miller, he settled in London, quickly becoming a key figure in British jazz. Toussaint has maintained a considerable presence as bandleader in Europe having recorded 10 albums as a leader. As a sideman, Toussaint has worked with McCoy Tyner, Max Roach, Cedar Walton, Gil Evans and Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts. He will join Derry’s own John Leighton Trio for the performance on Sunday 1st May at 8pm in Bennigans Bar.
Known across Ireland, the UK and Europe as one of the finest exponents of jazz music ever, Gay has received countless plaudits and rave reviews, and featured in a staggering 1200 episodes of ‘Tea Time with Tommy’ for UTV, followed by ‘The White Line’, which was broadcast worldwide. You can see Gay in action numerous times throughout the festival, popping up to support his son Paul McIntyre, and at his own gig in Bennigans on Saturday 30th April.
