Party: The Paper Jam Duo

Party: The Paper Jam Duo

No duo works better than this. They have a quality that fills space and keeps you tapping your toes to a bright shimmering sound

Christian Garrick violin, David Gordon piano

Christian Garrick is an improvising violinist, a composer and a bandleader. He is active on the international concert circuit and on the London studio session scene. He is a professor of jazz and non-classical violin at three of London’s major music conservatoires. Tonight he will show us his quality and range of playing both in styles and in instruments played.

David Gordon started piano lessons at age 4, composing at 6, and discovered jazz for himself at the keyboard one day at 10. The house where he grew up was always full of baroque music, and contained a harpsichord. Jazz and baroque music have remained equally irresistible forces on him ever since. He is now based in London and continues to play with a variety of performers in a range of styles and formats, some of which we will no doubt hear tonight.

What we are guaranteed is an evening of exciting music from two virtuosos, each with a huge sense of fun.
