he Sterndale Singers are joined by a Jazz Trio to bring you an evening of Choral Jazz.The programme begins with George Shearing's seldom performed "Music to Hear" (written in 1985): a selection of texts by Shakespeare set to music in a variety of styles leading to Shearing's own inimitable jazz. In 1995, John Rutter wrote his "Birthday Madrigals" in celebration of Shearing's 75th birthday, and these also include setting of Shakespeare and are in a jazzy style.
Bob Chilcott's " A Little Jazz Mass was written in 2004 - one of the first popular settings to use this style (they have since prolifrated rather) and this is included.
To complete the programme we have a selection of exciting arrangements of traditional spitituals and three Jazz Standards by Fats Waller, Cole Porter and Richard Rodgers.
With jazz piano, string bass and kit accompaniment this will be an evening to remember.
