On Thursday 27th November Durham University Big Band will welcome Pete
Churchill to workshop a number of pieces with them. Pete Churchill is
renowned for his jazz education. He lecturers in jazz composition at the
Royal Academy of Music, and has inspired countless school children across the
country with his innovative large scale singing projects. He is the
musical director of the London Vocal Project which has collaborated with Kenny
Wheeler on the album 'Mirrors'. His busy freelance career has included
work for almost a decade and a half as the British accompanist for the
legendary jazz singer Mark Murphy and collaborations with, amongst others,
Norma Winstone, Stan Sulzmann, John Taylor and Julian Arguelles. He
conducted the 80th birthday tour of the Kenny Wheeler Big Band which culminated
in the critically acclaimed album 'The Long Waiting'.
