Gordon Vernick
This is the chance for jazz lovers to hear American trumpeter Gordon Vernick, associate professor and coordinator of jazz studies at Georgia State University.
Respected the world over as a high calibre trumpet player, music educator and radio broadcaster this is Gordon’s second UK tour at the invitation of Wigan Jazz Club and Youth Jazz Orchestra.
He has performed in all musical mediums, from symphony orchestra to jazz quartet, and has freelanced all over the world as a featured act and with jazz stars like Kenny Werner, Marc Copland, Clare Fischer and Randy Brecker.
His style is very much in the be-bop tradition and accompanying him on this tour are three of our own top musicians, Martín Longhawn (piano), John Marley (bass) and Tim Carter (drums).
ZOE GILBY
We absolutely loved it on Wednesday. The club is brilliant. The audience
were so lovely as always. Bob did a superb job on the sound too. I always
love performing at the club. It was a real pleasure to bring our Pannonica
project and air out the Monk tunes.
Big thanks again for having us back.
JAMIE TAYLOR
The fabulous guitarist Jamie Taylor played at Scarborough jazz recently. It was a great night and after the gig Jamie send this message:
"I really mean it when it tell people how much I look forward to my visits to Scarborough. You are right to be so proud of what you’ve achieved with the club and festival; it’s really extraordinary. I always love playing with the trio as well."
