John, Ben Holder, Alex Steele & Paul Jefferies re-imagine Status Quo's greatest hits!
This is one for Status Quo and swing jazz fans alike.....
Bassist Paul Jefferies and pianist Alex Steele created this concept early in 2023 after an initial meeting with the Status Quo drummer John Coghlan. John gave it a big thumbs up. Paul and Alex wanted to create a totally different sound for the Quo Reimagined project and their first thought was to 'go acoustic'. That meant finding another instrument - not a guitar - that would sound quite different to the electric instruments used by Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt and they almost instantly decided on friend and world class violinist Ben Holder.
The even better news was that Ben can sing - so rather than this be an instrumental project, vocals could be added to give the Quo music some more credibility. Alex Steele's acoustic piano sound and Paul double bass (rather than the electric bass played by original founding member Alan Lancaster) would add to the different sound the band could create. So, the Quo melodies and most of the harmony are kept in tact, but with violin, piano, double bass and drums - and solos that use jazz and even classical inspiration - make the resulting sound very different to the original, but recognisable and very exciting!
