Mark Nightingale & Alan Barnes Sextet
Lineup
About the Event
The 20th Century spanned 100 years of Creative Great Jazz Tunes: original, unique, long lasting, jazz compositions.
Whilst jazz musicians were, and continue to be, ready to improvise and syncopate melodies and chord sequences, originally written as songs - and many from Broadway shows, the greatest jazz numbers were composed and arranged specifically as vehicles for instrumental jazz giants.
Normally you would be lucky to hear just a few Great Jazz Tunes in any one concert and would have to spend time, money and lots of energy across many evenings to hear several.
In this Friday lunch time concert, you can hear, from start to finish, nothing other than Great Jazz Tunes.
Here’s a few mouth- watering examples of what the Sextet have ready for you.
Satin Doll - Duke Ellington / Desafinado - Antonio Carlos Jobim / Round Midnight - Thelonius Monk / Moanin’ - Bobby Timmons / Cherokee - Ray Noble / Maiden Voyage - Herbie Hancock / Straight No Chaser - Thelonius Monk / The Duke - Dave Brubeck / It Don’t Mean A Thing - Duke Ellington - and several more Great Jazz Tunes
