Kind of the Cool – The Phil Shotton Nonet play Miles Davis

Lowther Pavilion · Lytham St AnnesMusic

The Phil Shotton ‘Kind of Cool’ Nonet play live the entire iconic ‘Birth of the Cool’ album! A rare and exciting opportunity to hear one of the most important and influential albums in jazz performed live, with the original instrumentation and arrangements, by some of the finest jazz musicians in the North of England. Phil Shotton – Baritone Saxophone & Bandleader John Padfield – Alto Saxophone Owen Bryce – Trumpet Mike Monument – French Horn Matthew Horner – Trombone Adam Dutch – Tuba Tom Sykes – Piano Matt Lawton – Double Bass Andrew Bold – Drums Birth of the Cool was the most important stylistic step to follow after bebop – generating an entirely new wave of playing that influenced a new generation in the early 1950s. This compilation album by American jazz trumpeter and bandleader Miles Davis, released in February 1957 by Capitol Records compiled eleven tracks recorded by Davis’s nonet for the label over the course of three sessions during 1949 and 1950. Featuring unusual instrumentation and several notable musicians, the music consisted of innovative arrangements influenced by classical orchestral music techniques such as polyphony, and marked a major development in post-bebop jazz. As the title suggests, these recordings are considered seminal in the history of cool jazz. One of the features of the Davis Nonet was the use of paired instrumentation. An example of this can be heard in “Move”, the melody is given to the pairing of trumpet and alto saxophone, baritone saxophone and tuba supply counterpoint, and trombone and French horn provide harmonies. “Jeru” demonstrates another Nonet hallmark: the use of a unison sound and rich harmony throughout the horns. Davis said, “I wanted the instruments to sound like human voices singing … and they did.” Though the album is seen as a departure from traditional bop, the recordings do feature tunes that are considered close to the bop style, such as “Budo” which has the band bookending solos by Davis, Mulligan, Konitz, and Winding, similar to a bebop head arrangement. In 1957, after the release of Birth of the Cool, Down Beat magazine wrote that the album “[influenced] deeply one important direction of modern chamber jazz.” Several tunes from the album, have gone on to become Jazz Standards played by all sizes of ensembles. The nonet recorded twelve tracks for Capitol during three sessions over the course of nearly a year and a half. Davis, Lee Konitz, Gerry Mulligan and John Barber were the only musicians who played on all three sessions, though the instrumental line-up was constant (excepting the omission of piano on a few songs)The second recording date came three months later on April 22, 1949. The band did not return to the studio again until March 9, 1950. Davis did not call the band for any rehearsals or live performances between the second and third recording dates. Many members of the Miles Davis Nonet went on to have successful careers in cool jazz, notably, Mulligan moved to California and joined forces with trumpeter Chet Baker in a piano-less quartet, before creating his Concert Jazz Band. Capitol Records were at the time disappointed with the sales of the nonet recordings, and did not offer Davis a contract extension. Instead, Davis signed with the new jazz specialty record label, Prestige, for whom he would record his first album in 1951.

Nosferatu: with live music

Lowther Pavilion · Lytham St AnnesMusic

Nosferatu (Cert U) A Symphony of Horrors The silent masterpiece with a brand-new live score The Film Nosferatu (1922) is arguably the film that gave birth to the horror genre. Notable as the first cinematic interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, its combination of expressionistic acting and unforgettable images render it just as powerful and unsettling today as when it first thrilled cinema goers 100 years ago. Chris Green’s new score was commissioned by English Heritage for a live outdoor screening of the film at Dracula’s spiritual home of Whitby Abbey. The music is a haunting blend of electronic and acoustic instruments performed live by the composer and, combined with FW Murnau’s iconic images, makes for a genuinely remarkable and unique cinematic experience.
