The History of Jazz Piano, and Irrelevant Topics
Bill Cunliffe Music (California, USA)
Join Grammy winner and "national treasure" Bill Cunliffe for a
hilarious, interactive musical encounter. Masterclass piano playing
melds with sparkling inventiveness and genre-defying wit as Cunliffe
moves effortlessly from a tribute to Duke Ellington classics, to
time-travelling through classical eras up to the 21st century as JS
Bach, before retracing his steps through the jazz ages to the
boogie-woogie. And for the grand finale, the audience inspire Cunliffe
with their favourite pop, jazz, and classical requests, as he improvises
an original composition on the spot. Don’t miss this astonishing solo
adventure!
