Jason Yarde / Andrew McCormack - Duo and Trio Wah!

Jason Yarde / Andrew McCormack - Duo and Trio Wah!

Fri 29 October

Wakefield Sports Club

Eastmoor Road College Grove
Wakefield WF1 3RR

This is the second gig postponed from the awful winter – at last we can host these two major musicians!

Jason’s activities as a composer have taken over his life so much that his performing opportunities are fewer than the paying public would wish. Most recently his role as LSO Discovery Panufnik Young Composer has occupied his talents. His writing for WAH! and the duo with Andrew is also remarkable and shows his Jazz credentials well. Jason makes his first appearance for Wakefield Jazz but has “paid his dues” since his days with the Jazz Warriors (for whom he became MD) before the millennium.

Andrew was Music Critics and BBC Jazz Awards Rising Star in 2006 and was greatly appreciated when he visited Wakefield with Dave O’Higgins last season. He is also a sophisticated composer for the duo. We shall hear contemporary jazz of a matchless quality where references to classical music, the whole of jazz history and popular music may be presented in a tumbling cornucopia of experiences. The future sounds of jazz indeed.
Mike Pickering has visited Wakefield with Billy Jenkins and Larry Bartley with Byron Wallen.
