Suzanne Mellard and the New Standards Trio

Suzanne Mellard  must be the best kept secret on the british jazz scene at the present time. Completely self taught she has a unique voice among her contemporaries and has developed from many influences starting with Sarah Vaughan and Betty Carter through to Mark Murphy, Eddie Jefferson and Kurt Elling. She has performed with many well respected names in the genre including, Dave O’Higgins, Bill Watrous, Dave Newton, Brian Dee and Darius Brubeck.
One highlight of her career was to be invited to perform with Dame Cleo Laine’s band featuring Alan Ganley, John Horler, Mark Nightingale, Malcolm Creese and the legendary Sir John Dankworth at The Stables, Wavendon.

 Suzanne’s Dynamic voice encompasses many varied styles and shows her wide range of influences, from Soul and Blues through to Contemporary Jazz and Fusion.

 “The ideal jazz voice…intimate and rich in the low range, with great control in all registers!”
Darius Brubeck
“One of the most talented but too rarely heard jazz vocalists in the UK”

Craig-Milverton
Top UK jazz pianist Craig Milverton comes up from the west country with his quartet to give us his famous “Oscar Peterson meets Milverton Tribute Show”.
 
Craig is firmly established as one of Britain’s top jazz pianists. “A master of whatever he chooses to perform” (Humphrey Lyttleton). “An extravagantly gifted pianist with an unrivalled sense of swing” Jazz CD of the Month, Dave Gelly, The Observer. “The best pianist to come along in Britain in the last two decades, and the nearest to the great Oscar Peterson” (Digby Fairweather).
Just three of the quotes extolling Craig’s jazz talent, recognised by his winning the
The British Jazz Awards Jazz Piano Category in 2010.

In his latest project A Tribute To Oscar Peterson Craig pays homage to probably the greatest of all Jazz Pianists, and his biggest influence, Oscar Peterson. The show highlights all the great recordings of Oscar from his huge hit ‘Tenderly’, to his best selling Album ‘Night Train’. It also focuses on Peterson’s own great compositions including ‘The Canadiana Suite’ celebrating his homeland of Canada.

Craig recorded his tribute to Oscar in 2007 and has received top reviews in the Jazz Press and featured the tribute at festivals including Brecon, London and Swanage.  The tribute has also been performed at many top venues including Ronnie Scotts, Pizza Express Dean Street and the Concorde Club.

This concert is a must for Peterson fans and all who love Jazz that swings.

Starring with Craig will three of today’s most talented jazz musicians:
Dominic Ashworth on Guitar (2006 British Jazz Awards winner),
Sandy Suchodolski on Bass and Nick Millward on Drums.

New York Guitarist Gilad Hekselman Booked for Jazz At The Park, Bedford, Thursday, 10th November

 

Tom Syson, Managing Director of Conscia Jazz (conscia.org), is pleased to announce a special one-off Bedford ‘Jazz at the Park’ event for Thursday,
10th November, with the internationally renowned New York based guitarist GILAD HEKSELMAN

Gilad will be performing solo guitar at The Pavilion in Bedford Park, following on from the successful 2016 ‘Jazz at the Park’ series. As always there will be a Q&A session with the artist in the second set. Check out his very impressive bio below for more information about him.

“Gilad Hekselman has been developing a reputation as one of the most promising guitarists in New York since his arrival in 2004. After only a few years this native Israeli has shared the stage with some of the greatest artists in the New York City jazz scene including Chris Potter, Mark Turner, John Scofield, Anat Cohen, Ari Hoenig, Esperanza Spalding, Sam Yahel, Jeff Ballard, Gretchen Parlato, Avishai Cohen, Jeff ‘Tain’ Watts, Tigran Hamasyan, Aaron Parks and Greg Hutchinson.

“Gilad has played all the major jazz clubs in New York City including the Blue Note, The Jazz Standard, Dizzy’s Club and Smalls. He is constantly touring world-wide and has played most noteworthy jazz festivals including Montreux (Sui), North Sea (Ned), Montreal (Can) & San Francisco (USA).

“Gilad Hekselman has a vision of modern jazz that’s harmonically fluent but not averse to simple melody or gentle, approachable effect. His fine working trio, with Joe Martin on bass and Marcus Gilmore on drums, draws from a rewarding new album, ‘Homes’.”

The event starts at 8pm on Thursday, 10th of November, with doors opening from 7.40pm. Tickets cost £25.95 including a grazing board which will be served in the interval. There is a fully licensed bar serving wine and beer. Due to the intimate nature of the venue, there is a maximum of 30 tickets available, we recommend you book your tickets from conscia.org as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you there!!

Many thanks
