Jazz’s ‘sound of surprise’ as familiar tunes from many genres get a fresh makeover!
In his Re-Creations quartet, John Law’s band creatively surprise and delight playing arrangements of well-known tunes taken from different genres – jazz, pop, indie, rock, folk – turning them into modern day jazz standards.
Knowing the familiar tunes, audiences feel part of the creative process and the play and interplay of the musicians. No matter how intricate the arrangements become and how inventive the improvisation, you tune-in to savour the underpinning melody and the tune’s pulse and propulsion.
As well as notably jazz tunes from the likes of Monk, Miles Davis and Gershwin, the quartet’s evolving repertoire includes pop/rock/indie tunes from such artists as Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Radiohead. Not forgetting classical pieces too, such as Satie’s Gymnopédie and Debussy’s Claire De Lune.
Line-up: John Law – piano, Sam Crockatt – tenor & soprano saxes, Henrik Jensen – bass and Alex Goodyear – drums
