An early start for Sheffield Jazz autumn season, the 3 September at Crookes Social Club sees the return of Fergus McCreadie’s Trio who made such an impact at their Sheffield debut in 2020. This is followed at the start of October by saxophonist George Crowley’s trio which includes guitarist Rob Luft.
In contrast for our next gig Nikki Iles leads a star-studded 18 strong jazz orchestraplaying her own compositions while the following week sees the return of the sextet Hexagonal whose joyful music pays tribute to Bheki Mseleku and McCoy Tyner.
On Thursday 21 October we’re at Firth Hall for Acoustic Triangle whose melodic jazz, reflecting classical and folk styles, is built around their own compositions and those of composers, such as Ravel and Bill Evans. The following day we’re back at Crookes Social Club to welcome the hugely impressive saxophonist and composer Trish Clowes and her quintet My Iris.
Our next gig at Crookes is the 13 piece Bird Migration: Charlie Parker Centenary Big Band, led by composer and pianist Hans Koller celebrating the music of Charlie Parker and featuring some of the finest brass players on the UK scene.The following week we welcome the Deschanel Gordon Trio for their debut at Crookes. Pianist Deschanel, winner of BBC Young Jazz Musician 2020, is already making an impact on the UK jazz scene with his music.
Next up is the Freddie Gavita Quartet, whose Sheffield debut in 2017 was so impressive and again features award-winning pianist Tom Cawley. Then on 3 December Clark Tracey returns with a sextet featuring some of our most gifted young musicians playing a mixture of bebop and post-bop jazz under Clark’s leadership. Our final gig sees Yazz Ahmed return with a quartet, following her hugely popular gig at Crookes in 2018, playing her own compositions based on melodies resonant with the sounds of the Middle East.
