Jazz trumpeter, composer and author Jeremy Pelt has certainly never shied away from themed albums so one might expect something cinematic from the enigmatically-titled Soundtrack. However, as Pelt himself explains, “I've certainly done plenty of concept albums, but in this case there's nothing I'm on a soapbox about. It's been a tough time for all of us, so let's not worry about sending messages for a minute. Here we are, playing some songs and having some fun.”
Success Express continues to introduce exciting new independent artists to new audiences at PizzaExpress Live. This special show is headlined by awarding winning Welsh singer-songwriter Mared with full band plus special guests.
Tommy Smith and Makoto Ozone first met as members of Gary Burton’s quartet in the 1980’s. Affectionately known as ‘Whiz Kids’, the group (with Steve Swallow on bass) toured widely in the USA. Since then, their paths have crossed frequently, and their partnership on Mozart’s ‘Juenehomme’ for the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra in 2014 represents a high watermark of artistic imagination. The new partnership of Smith/Ozone as a contemporary duo want to take this music out and share it as widely as possible, not merely on social media, but live and alive on the concert platform for audiences that appreciate style, panache and irresistible wit.
Enriching lives through the music therapy.
