The David Gray Flextet are delighted to be returning to The Globe, this time welcoming the very capable Pete Tanton to the fold. You might know Pete from bands such as Cuban Heels, The Revolutionaires and House of the Black Gardenia.
Join them on another journey as they explore different styles and interpretations of jazz and improvisation, all delivered with a distinct energy and charm. From themes to standards, Latin grooves to Hard Bop and original compositions, there will be plenty in these two sets to leave you going home satisfied.
The band:
David Gray – Trombone and vocals
Pete Tanton – Trumpet and vocals
Alan Law – Keyboard
Paul Grainger – Upright bass
Michael Mather – Drum set
Following some summer performances, here’s what Bebop Spoken Here had to say about the Flextet’s Lit & Phil concert:
“It was billed as being sold out and it almost was give or take two or three malingerers who probably took advantage of the heat wave to bask in the sun – the mad, reckless fools! The Lit & Phil was a much better option and it was cooler although there was plenty of heat being generated on stage. As always, David ‘Showtime’ Gray was the life and soul of the party. Rapid tonguing, agile slide control and a pleasing singing voice which, on this occasion was deployed on that good old wartime standard I’ll be Seeing You. In Pete Tanton he had the ideal co-pilot in the front line. The American matching Gray in power and technique. Alan Law offered a contrasting sound. He and the Kawai grand piano always seem like a marriage made in heaven. Paul Grainger was his ever dependable self whilst the ever dependable Michael Mather’s solo on Cyclops drew the biggest round of applause – impressive! Yet another successful Friday lunchtime @ the Lit & Phil.”
