This Saturday 4 December, The Globe will be hosting a very special performance of Stan Tracey’s ‘Under Milk Wood’ suite, the most famous composition by the man known as ‘The Godfather of British Jazz’.
The music will be performed by an exceptional quartet of musicians very familiar with Stan Tracey’s music: Simon Allen (saxes), Bruce Boardman (piano), Andrew Cleyndert (bass), Stan's son, Clark Tracey (drums) and Stan’s grandson, Ben Tracey, will be the narrator.
Stan Tracey wrote this jazz suite in 1965 while he was working as the house pianist at the original Ronnie Scott’s club. It was inspired by BBC radio play Under Milk Wood, written by the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas. It has often been cited as one of the best jazz recordings made in the United Kingdom and has been reissued six times.
The concert at The Globe will also include one of Stan Tracey’s last compositions, A Child’s Xmas in Wales which is also based on story by Dylan Thomas.
Tickets are available on our website: https://theglobenewcastle.bar/.../dec-4-clark-tracey.../
The gig will be livestreamed to allow those unable to attend the venue to enjoy this unique performance.
This concert is presented by Jazz North East and Jazz.Coop at The Globe.
Also on Sat 4 Dec Clark Tracey will be running a #jazz workshop at The Globe 13:30-17:00. Suitable for all musicians (not just drummers!) the workshop will examine the interplay between the rhythm section and the front line. Book here https://theglobenewcastle.bar/play-jazz-workshop-december/
