Free Fall – Jazz Concert Part 2
Gwilym Simcock jazz piano
Emma Rawicz saxophone
Emma and Gwilym will be performing music from their upcoming duo release on the prestigious ACT label, including original works and arrangements of a variety of other music from the Great American Songbook to Stevie Wonder! Their collaboration has been a cross-generation revelation, but possibly a predictable success – given they both had a similar significant classical and jazz training at the prestigious Chetham’s School of Music in Manchester and Royal Academy of Music in London. Their love of engaging, energetic and joyful music is evident throughout this set, and the intimate chamber concert is a perfect setting for this very special project to be heard!
