Jazz Concert: The Music of Jaco Pastorius Gwilym Simcock with Laurence Cottle (el.bs.) & James Maddren (dms.) @ Lauderdale House
May 15 @ 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

Gwilym is regarded as the UK’s number one jazz
pianist and composer, with strong classical overtones. He has many world tours and
concerts with The Impossible Gentlemen to his credit. His diverse range is
exemplified by his work with full scale orchestras, including one BBC Prom
devoted entirely to his music – which makes this concert, something of a major
surprise. Only Laurence Cottle a bass virtuoso in his own right could take on the
role of Weather Report’s  revolutionary titan in this intimate trio
setting. And James Maddren, possibly the leading drummer to have appeared in
the last few years, completes a remarkable group presenting the music of a
major and unique talent, Jaco Pastorius
