(Press release) Violinist Tim Kliphuis’ trio,
guitar duo Graeme Stephen & Don Paterson and saxophone-piano pairing Brian
Molley & Tom Gibbs form the jazz element of the upcoming music programme at
the Heart of Hawick venue just over the Border on the A7.
Hailed as 'the Dutch Grappelli' and 'a modern-day improvising Paganini,' Kliphuis has taken his music across the world and fronts a group that features Scottish guitarist Nigel Clark and bassist Roy Percy. They bring their tribute to swing master Django Reinhardt to Heart of Hawick on Saturday 27th May.
Graeme Stephen and
Don Paterson (pictured) are a relatively new combination playing melodic original
compositions inspired by their shared love of guitar heroes Bill Frisell and
John Abercrombie. Paterson, who formerly partnered Tim Garland and Christine
Tobin in Celtic-jazz group Lammas, is a much-decorated poet as well as a
guitarist and has recently received enthusiastic reviews for his memoir, Toy
Fights. They appear on Saturday 22nd July.
Later in the year,
on Saturday 2nd December, saxophonist Brian Molley and Tom Gibbs bring original
tunes, intriguingly reworked standards and tunes picked up in their musical
travels to Hawick. Both musicians are former Jazzwise ‘ones to watch’ and
Molley has released a well-received stream of albums including a recent
collaboration between his quartet and Indian percussionist Krishna Kishor. Tom
Gibbs is the pianist in Molley’s quartet and his C.V. includes work with top
New Yorkers, drummer Ari Hoenig and guitarist Gilad Hekselman.
All concerts begin at 7:30pm and Early Bird tickets for the second and third concerts are available at £10 until 9th June. More information is available at liveborders.org.uk/heart-of-hawick
