Sun 1 Aug 2021 3:00 PM - 6:30 PM BST
Oaken Grove Vineyard, RG9 6JG
Description
Join us at Oaken Grove Vineyard for an afternoon of Jazz, accompanied by delicious local wines, beers and food.
As a finalist at the BBC Young Jazz Musician of the Year 2020, and winner of the Rising Star category in the 2019 British Jazz Awards, Alex is known to be one of the most in-demand and versatile young reeds players emerging on the British jazz scene. Praised for her extensive repertoire list and intelligent ear for harmony, she brings a youthful, intuitive approach which sounds authentic in a variety of musical settings from New Orleans to bebop. Alex's sound is steeped in the tradition of jazz; her deep respect for the heritage of the music can be heard in a swinging, melodic approach reminiscent of Scott Hamilton and Lester Young, with strong influences of Phil Woods and Cannonball Adderley. Featured with Alex’s Trio is Dave Newton, principal lecturer in Jazz Piano at Leeds College of Music, voted ‘best Jazz Pianist’ sixteen times in the British Jazz Awards, and all-round master of his instrument!
Vineyard gates open at midday and guests are welcome to enjoy drinks on the wine terrace before the jazz starting at around 3pm.
Tables for 6, 4, 3 and 2 people are available. Wines from our own vineyard as well as some other local beers and guest wines will be available to order, as well as food offering (further details TBC). Every table of 6 will receive a complimentary bottle of wine.
Full Covid prevention measures will be in place, and we ask all our guests to follow guidelines.
