Scarborough Jazz 30th Anniversary Celebrations Scarborough Jazz celebrates its 30th anniversary with two gigs: 4th June at The Cask: Alan Barnes with Jack Emblow and 14th June at The Spa Vitadome: Zoe Gilby Quartet (expect a superior finger buffet).

The story is very simple: Dennis Hitch, Bob Walker and Mike Gordon, the original trio, were just looking for somewhere to play and that’s how Scarborough Jazz started. Congratulations to the whole team! Join in the celebrations and check out a film that Dennis Lowe has made about Scarborough Jazz which also has some shots of the jazz festival (next edition is coming up in September), available on the website: www. scarboroughjazz.co.uk Matthew Halsall & the Gondwana Orchestra If you haven’t heard this band yet, make up for that quickly. Unique and mesmerising sound and an incredible ensemble of musicians (and instruments!). Trumpeter Matthew Halsall and his ensemble appear in Manchester, at the Band on the Wall on 15th June.

World Premiere of the ‘Yorkshire Jazz Suite’ @ Seven Artspace, Leeds on 29th June Doncaster Youth Jazz Orchestra conducted by James Hamilton will perform alongside Matt Bourne solo piano, Kim Macari Sextet featuring Leah Gough Cooper & Al Woods.

Jazz Repertory Company specialises in recreations of significant artists, concerts and jazz history. On

15th June they will premiere their spectacular new concert: ‘100 years of Big Band Jazz in 99 minutes’ at the Cadogan Hall in London The 17 piece Big Band includes Georgina Jackson as lead trumpeter and singer, vocalist Iain Mackenzie (Ronnie Scott’s Big Band). Big Band leader Peter Long (Jools Holland’s Rhythm & Blues Orchestra) presents the show in his inimitably humorous way.

John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme re-envisioned Rowland Sutherland’s score ‘Enlightenment (In the Spirit of A Love Supreme by John Coltrane)’ was commissioned by Paul Bradshaw of Chaser Productions and funded by PRS for Music Foundation in 2012. It will be performed during the James Lavelle’s Meltdown Festival at the Southbank Centre in London on 22nd June.

A Love Supreme has been placed 47th on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 best albums. It has influenced countless musicians and artists from Frank Zappa to Jimi Hendrix and to this day, 50 years since it was recorded, is still considered essential listening, inviting the listener, in John Coltrane’s words, to experience ‘Elation, Elegance, Exaltation’.

A stellar, 14 piece ensemble of some of the UK’s finest musicians including Steve Williamson, Ade Egun Crispin Robinson, Nikki Yeoh, Ansuman Biswas, Shabaka Hutchings, Orphy Robinson (also musical director), Pat Thomas, Juwon Ogungbe, Neil Charles and Mark Mondesir will perform flautist Sutherland’s inspired piece.

Bands touring with Jazz Services this month include: Phil Robson’s Organ Trio, Michelson Morley, Gabrielle Ducomble Band, Maciek Pysz Trio, Kate Williams Band, Kristian Borring Quartet, Rob Terry Trio, Becki Biggins and Her Dream Team, Julian Siegel Quartet, Nick Malcolm Quartet, Roger Beaujolais Quartet, Dave Mannington’s Riff Raff and Charlotte Glasson Band.

On the Gigs cover: Gabrielle Ducomble Gabrielle Ducomble and her band featuring Nicolas Meier - guitar, Dan Teper – accordion Nick Kacal – double bass and Saleen Raman on drums continue their tour in June. Gabrielle and the crew showcase her latest album Notes From Paris, a fittingly entitled disc that comprising Ducomble’s sumptuous arrangements of some well-known classic French songs, including tracks made famous by Edith Piaf (Je Ne Regrette Rien, La Vie En Rose) and Serge Gainsburg (Ces

Petits Riens). It’s a charming showcase of both vocal and instrumental talent that is at once respectful of the source material but also allows Ducomble to impart her own identity on the songs. Ducomble’s band is well suited to her choice of repertoire and conveys a classy European air, with Dan Teper’s accordion and the excellent Nicolas Meier on guitar summoning up visions of Parisian cafés and nightclubs. This is no clichéd affair, however; the quality that exudes from the album and live shows is both genuine and indisputable, and Ducomble is a great asset to the UK’s jazz scene.

Look Out for the Young & Talented!

Durham University Big Band has just won the Great North Big Band Jazz Festival for the third time, the only band to do so in the Festival’s history. Aside from playing at balls and other University events, the band has enjoyed gigging across the UK as well as having residencies on cruises to Norway and the Baltic states. This summer you can catch the excellent student ensemble at the London’s Pizza Express Jazz Club (15th June) and on the first night of the Manchester Jazz Festival at Matt & Phred’s Jazz Club on July 18th.
