A
gig
on Friday 30th November. The event starts at 19:00.
LOS CLANDESTINOS:
John Baggott (piano) & Pete Judge (trumpet / flugelhorn). Legendary Bristol pianist John Baggott is best-known for his work with Portishead, Massive Attack and (currently) Robert Plant & The Sensational Spaceshifters, but his love of jazz is deep-rooted. Prepare to be amazed by the quicksliver dexterity of his right-hand runs, and left-hand work that threatens to put bass-players out of business. Trumpeter Pete Judge is similarly most familiar from leftfield contexts including the mighty Get The Blessing and acoustic multi-instrumentalists Three Cane Whale, but he and John have unearthed an unexpected rapport in tackling the Great American Songbook and beyond, and have explored this in a handful of under-the-radar low-key performances (hence the band-name). For their first time at Salt, expect some hand-picked standards, including tunes associated with pianist Bill Evans, a hero for them both, as well as some of John's own evocative compositions.
DAISY PALMER (Paloma Faith, Goldfrapp, Mesadorm, etc). Daisy is deservedly held in legendary status by Bristol audiences, and this is an all-too-rare chance to catch her in a 'chamber-jazz' context.
"INSPIRATIONAL! BRILLIANT!! Inventive, intriguing arrangements of beautiful jazz standards associated with Bill Evans interspersed with some truly wonderful John Baggott original compositions" (The Fringe, Bristol)
"It’s always charming to see two such left field musicians sit down and explore classic mainstream jazz with care and skill" (Bristol 24/7)
