Pianist/composer/bandleader Paul Edis is once again bringing his A Jazzy Christmas show to Tyneside and, for the first time, to County Durham and Wearside. Edis' all-star, ten-piece band routinely performs to a full house at Sage Gateshead. And little wonder, take a look at the names...Paul Edis (piano), Jo Harrop (vocals), Emma Fisk (violin), Matt Anderson (reeds), Faye Thompson (reeds), Graham Hardy (trumpet), Jason Holcomb (trombone), Megan Robinson (flute, piccolo), Andy Champion (bass) and drummer Matt MacKellar.
This year there is greater ambition with no fewer than three north east of England venues on the itinerary. The Gateshead date (Saturday 17 December) offers not one, but two opportunities to hear the ensemble with a matinee performance at 3:00pm followed by an evening performance at 8:00pm. Call the box office on 0191 443 4661. The previous evening (Friday 16) Paul Edis & Friends will be at St Cuthbert's Centre, Crook. It's a seven thirty start but, it's already a sell out! A waiting list has been opened, to add your name to the list, email: jazzatcrook@gmail.com. To conclude the mini 'up north' tour, A Jazzy Christmas calls into Sunderland's Fire Station on Monday 19 December. Check out the WEBSITE.
MD Paul Edis promises new arrangements of festive favourites. Oh, jingle bells, jingle bells... Russell
