Stroud Jazz Club Jam Session with special guest David Mowat
Advertisement
We look forward to the next Stroud Jazz Club Jam Session at 8pm on Friday 23rd October with special guest David Mowat at the Stroud Valley Arts centre.
Mowat is a self-taught jazz composer, band-leader, trumpeter, improviser, promoter, curator, mentor and project creator, social-justice activist, spoken-word poet and tour organiser. He sees music as an expression of soul and a practitioner of the art of bringing diverse people together to create community through music.
Part Swiss, part English, his main inspirations include Western classical music, Christian hymns, political street bands, The Blues, Miles Davis, Don Cherry, Keith Tippett, klezmer, North Indian and West African cultures, Hugh Masakela, music of the Middle East. Mowat is a community development professional (retired). Mowat has favoured live music and a facilitative approach for others over album-making and single-minded band promotion. But in his late 60s he’s rediscovering the mojo he had in his 30s, so that is changing!
Some nice things said/written
“He’s a great player and humanitarian” Chris Santo Cobbson
“Milesian” Phil Johnson
“A unique voice and on the right side” Gilad Atzmon
“Reminiscent of Kenny Wheeler” Jon Turney
“Those dulcet sounds” Pete Judge
“A pure sound like Chet Baker” Bristol Post
“...virtuosic trumpet lines, often reminiscent of Ibrahim Maalouf’s style”
