Brand New Music For 2019

27FC2F9A-B32E-473D-8CD5-F9D48B17CFAD

Absolutely thrilled to be going back into the studio to make 26 brand new tracks for my live gigs.  This year I’ll be stepping into sonic recording studios with the fantastic Scott Flanigan, his bass player Rohan and the very talented Rick Swann on Trumpet.  This year I will be arranging old songs my way!  Songs like; The Good Life, S’Wonderful, The Best Is Yet To Come, A Foggy Day, Girl From Ipanema, It Happened In Monterey & many more …. Some of the songs featured will be accompanied only by Scott on Piano, then the rest with be a mix of the other two instruments.  This gives me a brand new bag of music to perform with all over the country.

Swingin’ The Derry Jazz Festival.

“The annual celebration of jazz and big bands will feature artists from all over the world and welcome more than 60,000 revellers over the bank holiday weekend.”

This year I got to perform for the brilliant Derry Jazz Festival.  Playing venues like the Maldron Hotel, Bishops Gate Hotel and The City Hotel, rooftop terrace.  What a brilliant turnout at every single gig!  I varied the set to suit each performance and included beautiful standards such as;

All The Way

Our Love Is Here To Stay

Blame It On My Youth

Where Or When

I’m Old Fashioned

On The Street Where You Live

More

In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

I’ve Got The World On A String

The Way You Look Tonight

Smile

The Shadow Of Your Smile

I’m Going To Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter

& Many Many More …

Some footage from the rooftop terrace show is available to watch on my Instagram page featured on my website.

Making Brand New Music With The Scott Flanigan Quartet.

955F98A9-019D-4799-97A8-A97D1C96DEA1

In March 2018 I decided to team up with the ultra talented Scott Flanigan and his quartet to make some new music.  Scott was kind enough to re-write 20 arrangements to my specification.  The arrangements were then taken to Sonic Recording Studios where we recorded these charts with Scott and his quartet.  The songs I chose were a mix of the great standards made famous by singers like; Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett to mention a few.  The music was recorded for me to use at my live gigs an events, giving me the most professional, crisp and polished backing tracks in the country.

We recorded songs like;

Me & Mrs Jones

Our Love Is Here To Stay

Cheek To Cheek

Do Nothing Till You Hear It From Me

In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

More

The Shadow Of Your Smile

That Old Feeling & Many More …
