2012 Touring
24/03/12 22:27
I must confess something - I have Tour-ettes. That is, I have a lot of musical trips coming up, firstly jumping into the piano chair of Stu Brown’s Raymond Scott Project for some England gigs in April, followed immediately by an 8-date tour of Scotland with Phil Bancroft. And of course looking forward to the biggest trip of all with Breach we’re travelling across to the USA and Canada in June to play at Rochester Jazz Festival, Toronto, and Vancouver jazz festival. On our return we’ll be recording a new album. Also this summer I’m delighted to be recording and touring with the great Aidan O’Rourke’s band including a gig at the Olympics.

Thankyou to all who voted for the “Hospitalfield Suite” in the Scottish Jazz Awards - we won! Big thanks to Alan Barnes, Phil O’Malley, Ed Kelly and Stuart Brown for bringing the music to life but most of all to Alan Steadman of Jazz at Hospitalfield who came up with the idea. My plan is to record the music next year, watch this space.

Writing New Music

Sorry for the long time without any updates.
Paul is currently busy writing two commissions - A reworking of some electric Miles Davis for guitarist John Scofield and the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra, to be performed throughout Scotland in March 2010, and a set of new music to celebrate 20 years of Scotland’s Jazz Club at Hospitalfield House in Arbroath - This will be first performed on 13th February 2010 with a band featuring British Jazz star Alan Barnes, and several times later in the year too.
