The idea is simple:we take some of the best-known tunes from all genres – jazz, pop, indie, rock, folk, classical sometimes – and re-create them, finding new arrangements and new angles to present them. Sometimes just spontaneously re-inventing them. But no matter how free and inventive we get, no matter how complex and intricate the arrangements become, audiences everywhere always feel part of the creative process, because they know the tune and recognise it when it comes back. This is art music played, by highly skilled musicians, where audiences don’t feel excluded. They are an integral part of the evening and the whole experience. After three brilliant CDs and tours throughout the UK and mainland Europe, the quartet is now presenting their latest album: Many Moons. The current new repertoire includes a deep groove House Of The Rising Sun, a mad version of Mama Mia mashed together with Pachelbel’s Canon, , Eye Of The Tiger in 15(!), a raucous version of U Can’t Touch This, an arhythmic take on Smoke on the Water and a beautiful, ever-shifting interpretation of Can’t Help Falling In Love… Featuring UK Parliamentary Jazz Award Winner saxophonist Sam Crockatt, Danish bass player and composer Henrik Jensen and a new young firebrand on the UK jazz drumming scene: Alex Goodyear. “Striking arrangements and great skill and invention in the solos… I can’t remember a better jazz gig! Breathtaking!” “Only in Re-Creations could Debussy be followed by Deep Purple! One of the best jazz performances I have ever seen!”
