PizzaExpress Jazz Club (Soho)

Laurence Juber, the two-time Grammy award winning acoustic guitarist, jets in from the US for this two night residency at PizzaExpress Jazz Club Dean Street. Fusing jazz, pop and folk styles and internationally recognised as lead guitarist in Paul McCartney’s band Wings, Laurence creates multi faceted performances that belie the use of only one acoustic guitar. A world renowned guitar virtuoso, he has released 23 solo albums; the latest is Fingerboard Road, featuring 13 tunes from the ‘60’s & ‘70’s. 'LJ plays The Beatles' was voted one of Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s all-time Top 10 Albums.

“The melodies, textures and harmonies he coaxes out of an acoustic guitar are absolutely spellbinding”

For the first of his two concerts at Pizza Express Jazz Club, Laurence a holder of the NYJO guitar chair early in his career, teams up with the Young British jazz musician Nicholas Fitch, the current guitarist in the NYJO lineup, to play solos and duets. Nicholas has already built a strong reputation as an innovative, creative, writer, player and arranger, having recently appeared here with the NYJO Nonet, with his own group at The Pheasantry and as a guest artist with members of the Wynton Marsalis Lincoln Centre Jazz Orchestra at The Barbican.
