Frank Zappa, Tim Garland, Jeremy Thurlow, Paul Harrison

Zappa has been in our group’s repertoire since the very early days of the “None of the Above” evenings at the old Bongo Club. As part of Mr McFall’s Chamber’s twentieth birthday celebrations this year, the ensemble dusts off a few old favourites at the same time as presenting new work. The line-up includes a number of stellar guests - clarinettist Maximiliano Martín, bassoonist Peter Whelan, violinist Cyril Garac, pianist Paul Harrison (whose new composition, entitled Consequences, will be featured in the programme), percussionist Iain Sandilands and drummer Stuart Brown.

The programme includes numbers by jazz composers Tim Garland and Paul Harrison, and a new work for bassoon quintet by Jeremy Thurlow which celebrates the poet John Keats (who was associated with that instrument – long story – it was, reputedly, also Frank Zappa’s favourite instrument, which is why the concert also includes a new arrangement of his Peaches in Regalia featuring both bassoon and clarinet).

Programme:

Jeremy Thurlow – Blithe Wine
Tim Garland – ExtrApollination
Paul Harrison - Consequences
Frank Zappa – Echidna’s Arf, Peaches in Regalia
