A
gig
held at The Be-Bop Club
on Friday 17th January. The event starts at 20:00.
We're delighted to welcome the prodigiously talented trumpeter and composer Reuben Fowler. Reuben is a graduate of the Royal Academy and in 2012 was the second person to win the Kenny Wheeler Award after Josh Arcoleo in 2011. His big band album Between Shadows was released in 2013 featuring many of the UK's best players and a guest appearance from US trumpet legend Tom Harrell. Reuben's writing is incredibly mature, and has drawn comparisons with Gil Evans, Kenny Wheeler and Maria Schneider. Joining Reuben in the front-line is James Gardiner-Bateman on alto sax, who's playing just seems to go from strength to strength, and they're bringing their A-list London rhythm section with them. This will be a good one. Reuben Fowler - trumpet/flugel, James Gardiner-Bateman - alto sax, Matt Robinson - piano, Tom McCredie - bass and Dave Hamblett - drums
