Duncan Fraser Septet
Last Show: Sunday 30 th October 2022
PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)
Trumpeter, composer and arranger Duncan Fraser brings his Septet to PizzaExpress Jazz Club for the first time, featuring some acclaimed young players on the London scene. Performing a repertoire consisting mainly of Fraser’s originals, the music is heavily rooted in the Post Bop sounds frequently heard across both the London and New York Jazz scenes. The ensemble released their first album (Fraser’s 2nd as leader), Soundscapes of Manhattan, in September 2021. Expect strong bass-lines, contemporary grooves and vamp sections voiced and coloured with 4 horns, composed ensemble passages combined with ample space for improvisation and interplay.
