John Law's Re-Creations

John Law ("One of Britain's most inventive and versatile jazz pianists" , International Piano Magazine, 2014) presents Re-Creations: creative re-workings of some of the world's best-known music.

The idea is simple: we take some of the best-known tunes from all genres - jazz, pop, indie, rock, folk, sometimes classical - and re-create them, finding new arrangements and new angles to present them. Sometimes we simply reinvent them spontaneously. But no matter how free and inventive we get, no matter how complex and intricate the arrangements become, the audience always feels part of the creative process because they know the tune and recognize it when it returns.

This is creative jazz that doesn't exclude the audience; the listeners are an integral part of the whole experience.

The current repertoire, with tracks from the current album Many Moons (33JAZZ296), includes a deep grooving House Of The Rising Sun, a crazy version of Mama Mia mixed with Pachelbel's Canon, Eye Of The Tiger in 15(!), a raucous version of U Can't Touch This, an arhythmic version of Smoke on the Water and a beautiful, ever-changing rendition of Can't Help Falling In Love...

"Striking arrangements and great skill and ingenuity in the solos.... I can't remember a better jazz gig! Stunning!"

"Only at Re-Creations could Debussy be followed by Deep Purple! One of the best jazz performances I've ever seen!"
