Jazz at George IV - The Cosima Matassa Project

Born out of respect for the artists who passed through the studio doors of the legendary producer Cosimo Matassa, at the core of the band are pianist and arranger Al ‘Dente’ Dunn (Loudon Wainright, Boomtown Rats) and singer and double bassist Dai Price (Dai & The Ramblers).

They are joined by top London musicians, the celebrated saxophonist Damian Hand (Allen Toussaint, Van Morrison) the acclaimed trumpeter Dave Priseman (Imelda May, Jeff Beck) and top drummer Jonathan Lee (The James Hunter Six Band, Lee Konitz). “The lynchpin is Price’s mellow, dulcet-toned voice, an instrument capable of dark forcefulness and languid tenderness, conjuring up the mercurial spirit of a young, full throated Alex Chiltern……” – Songlines Magazine.

Paying homage to the vibrant Rhythm and Blues scene that emerged from New Orleans in the late 40’s & early 50’s the band will be playing songs from that era by artists such as Fats Domino, Big Joe Turner, Allen Toussaint and Lee Dorsey as well as exploring lesser-known gems by the likes of Smiley Lewis, Dave Bartholomew and Tammi Lynn together with some original tunes of their own.
