Skye Swing Jazz Festival - Duets
The final event of the Festival is an intimate evening of duets, hosted by Rick Taylor, trombone and vocals, and Cameron Skerrow, guitar, with songs from across the decades, from the Great American Song Book. Rick and Cameron first performed together as a duo at this year’s Skye Festival with the NYJOS Summer School. Brian MacAlpine and Jonny Hardie are two of Scotland’s stars of traditional music. Their appearance at a Jazz Festival is unusual, but they are no strangers to improvisation, with a free-wheeling approach to the sets; their ability to inspire and stretch one another and the on-the-spot arrangements that sound so crafted. And the craic between them means you won’t care about genre - you’’ll just love them and their music. No Jazz event, especially with SEALL, can possibly take place without a visit from bass player Mario Caribé, especailly when he is joined by saxophonist Phil Bancroft. The music flows in tandem and the direction is never predictable always changing and finding unexpected twists & turns in a true conversation with instruments. And then all six come together for a final mind-blowing session.Date: 23/10/16
