Leicester
Jazz House presents: Mark Nightingale & Trio
21st March 2013
Mark
Nightingale (trombone)/ David Williams (guitar)/ Paula Robinson (bass)/ Nick
Hislam (drums)
At a recent
jazz festival Mark Nightingale mused out loud how strange it was that jazz was
dominated by an instrument invented by a man named Adolf! His instrument, the
trombone, of course preceded the saxophone in jazz history, and quickly adapted
to the rigours of bebop and beyond.
Mark
Nightingale's outstanding talent became widely recognised when he won the
coveted Don Lusher Award at the age of fifteen. At sixteen he was already lead
trombonist in the National Youth Jazz Orchestra of Great Britain and developing
his creativity as a composer and arranger.
As well as
leading his own quartet and Big Band, the Mark Nightingale trombone has
recently been heard with Cleo Laine and John Dankworth, Stan Tracey's Octet,
the Charlie Watts Ten-tet, the John Wilson Big Band, the Andy Panayi Quartet,
the Alan Barnes Nonet, Steely Dan, the Laurence Cottle Big Band and the Scott
Hamilton Sextet.
