"One of the most potent relationships in European Jazz" The GuardianChristian Garrick (violin) and John Etheridge (guitar) are two of Britain’s most virtuosic and versatile performers on their respective instruments. Comfortable with pretty much any style of jazz and contemporary music from gypsy/Hot Club stylings to jazz rock fusion, this world class duo provides a feast of interplay, improvisation and eclectic repertoire with music ranging from Peter Gabriel to Richard Rogers via Dollar Brand and Alison Goldfrapp.
British guitar legend John Etheridge (Soft Machine, Stephane Grappelli, Dizzy Gillespie, John Williams, Nigel Kennedy) and acclaimed violinist Christian Garrick (Van Morrison, Cleo Laine, Budapest Café Orchestra) have played together for many years. This free-wheeling pair use extensive looping and effects to create exotic tapestries of sound which are almost orchestral at times yet switch seamlessly to a pure acoustic with rollicking renditions of Hot Club swing, evoking the spirit of Reinhardt and Grappelli. Simply unmissable!
