Much Ado about Jazz

Starring Chris Gumbley on various wind instruments and accompanied by Al Gurr on the piano, 'Much Ado' is a duo show that is a little bit different. They are experienced session musicians, performers and educators. They understand the importance of audience engagement which underpins the concept behind their show, 'Much Ado About Jazz'.

This show is aimed at people who do not necessarily like jazz (as well as those who do!). They revisit some much-loved (mostly) jazz classics and present unique and exciting arrangements of them in such a way that the audience not only feel more involved, but also gain an insight into how jazz musicians work on stage. The engagement is audience centric with an outcome of delivering a community event without compromising on the professional performance. If you add to that a large dose of dry humour you'll start to get a feel for what our performance is all about.

Suitable for ages 12+
