Preston Reed

Preston Reed
Mumford Theatre, The
Drawing on blues, rock, funk and jazz influences among others, multi award winning musician Preston Reed weaves and melds genres, rhythms and textures to produce a signature sound that has earned him world renown for its emotional power and stylistic creativity. Playing an array of guitars from acoustic to electric to classical, Reeds vast range of explosively original music will forever change your expectation of a guitarist. Reed engages the entire instrument, creating a rock/jazz rhythm section, melody line and chordal accompaniment simultaneously. He riffs with the conviction and guts of a rock band, yet plays with the subtlety of that most delicate of jazz pianists, Bill Evans. There are no fancy gadgets or gimmicky FX - just 6 strings (or occasionally 12), two hands and a daring and innovative musical imagination that crosses all boundaries.

The Get-Up Forward

The Get-Up Forward
Barfly - closed 4 June 2008

The Get Up Forward: This unruly bunch of musical miscreants, first met on the cloudy shoreline of an island named desire. A mutual desire in fact, to create a livid, sensuous, soul expanding journey into the very innards of those rare, clarity infested, zen like meditative moments which have been known only by a handful of latter day Catholic saints, Tibetan Buddhist monks, Dalai Lamas, Prophetic artists, Himalayan explorers, and shrimp farmers. Alas, few if any of the above have ever truly achieved the 'nirvana' like state of mind, body, soul and being which has been hinted at for millenia by worthy scribes, (far worthier than I) and chased for eternity by a plethora of absurd fools intent on focussing more on the finish line, rather than the true substance of the race being ran with such blind sided zeal.

 

This is a funraising event for 209 Radio.

A welcome return to Jazznights, this Italian saxophonist  knocked everyone out with his easy-going, swinging style last time, It is sure to be a great evening!

"D'Aiello's weighty, behind-the-beat sound shows how a poetic imagination can rekindle a long-gone style without nostalgia" John Fordham - The Guardian.
