John Law - piano, Sam Crockatt - tenor saxophone, Henrik Jensen - bass, Alex Goodyear - drums
John Law (“one of our finest pianists” - Jon Turney, London Jazz News, Feb 2024) presents his Re-Creations project. The idea is simple: creatively re-work some of the best known tunes from all genres and that way we musicians can do what we want with them and the audience always feels part of the creative process. Promoting their new album Many Moons, there will be some new additions to the Re-Creations repertoire including a deep groove re-working of House of the Rising Sun, a joyful romp - in seven - through Mama Mia combining Pachelbel’s Canon, a beautifully poised, ever-changing take on Can’t Help Falling In Love With You and an intricate, but still rocking version - in 15! - of Eye Of The Tiger!
John Law is one of the outstanding pianists in the UK. His solo, duo, trio and quartet projects have played throughout the UK and Europe for 30 years, and has played with many of the greats of UK jazz: Asaf Sirkis, Yuri Goloubev, Andy Sheppard, Tim Garland, Paul Dunmall. His most recent projects include “Congregation” with Ashley John Long and James Mainwaring, “Re-Creations” with Sam Crockatt and “Renaissance” with Jon Lloyd and Patrick Dunn.
Having graduated from the Royal Academy, saxophonist Sam Crockatt formed a band with Gwilym Simcock, Oli Hayhurst and Ben Reynolds leading to debut recording Howeird in 2008, which won a Parliamentary Jazz Award later that year. Flood Tide followed commended by The Guardian for it’s “Haunting lyricism”. Citing John Coltrane, Joe Henderson, Wayne Shorter, Sonny Rollins and Lee Konitz among his musical influences, Sam’s ability to marry his understanding of past masters with contemporary styles keeps him constantly in demand and has taken him to stages at the EFG London Jazz Festival, Cheltenham Jazz Festival, Kragujevac Jazz Festival (Serbia) and WDR Festival (Cologne). He also appears on albums by vocalist Kaz Simmons and pianist Sam Leak. In 2011 Sam and his young family moved to Mells in Somerset, the peal of the bells in his new home village inspiring the title track of most recent recording Mells Bells - the album has drawn praise from such eminent publications as The Guardian, Jazzwise Magazine, The Telegraph and The Financial Times.
Bassist Henrik Jensen moved from Denmark to London in 1997 and is a graduate of the Royal Academy. He has toured the world from Tokyo to Moscow with various modern jazz projects and also as part of the band for close harmony group The Puppini Sisters. Henrik formed his quartet Followed By Thirteen in 2010, and the group has released three CDs. Henrik last appeared at the club back in January with the Steve Banks Quintet.
Alex Goodyear is a rising star of the drums and is rapidly gaining national and international recognition, having toured Europe and Israel in late 2022. A familiar face at the club, he recently appeared for the Ross Hicks Trio album launch.
Entry requirements: no age restrictions
