| Regent Hall, London, 275 Oxford Street, London W1C 2DJ, United Kingdom Friday 31-May-13 01:00pm Lunchtime Jazz The Royal Academy of Music presents a lunchtime concert of jazz. Sam Rapley is a up and coming young tenor player currently based in London, studying at the Royal Academy of Music with Stan Sulzmann. Originally a classical clarinettist, Rapley switched to jazz saxophone in his mid teens. Since then he has played with the likes of Dave Douglas, Iain Ballamy, James Taylor Quartet, Mike Walker, and has supported John Taylor Trio with his own band."
Sam says - the trio is a new project which is co-led by Alex Munk (guitar), Matt Robinson (piano) and myself (saxophone). We all studied together at the Royal Academy of Music and wanted to form a group more akin to a chamber ensemble rather than the traditional jazz small group setting. The reason for this was to open up new musical possibilities in the way that we write for the group and also to allow us to play in some different venues, such as this, which make us play very differently to how we would if we were playing in a jazz club.Price type: Free | ||
