Lauren Lucille + Graeme Wilson: Hartmann+Coltrane & Lucille+Wilson
Aussie now based in London, vocalist Lauren Lucille (RAH Band) and a ‘Scot in town for one night only’, tenor saxophonist Graeme Wilson (Fred Frith) pay homage to the celebrated partnership of John Coltrane and singer Johnny Hartman, along with original songs by Lucille and Wilson themselves. As Lauren describes it, “you're in for a night of heartbreakingly beautiful ballads and favourite, more upbeat tunes”, including iconic standards such as “Lush Life” & “My One and Only Love”. Accompanying these two inspired and experienced musicians are Daniel Hewson-piano (Groove Armada, Incognito), Andy Hamill-bass (Van Morrison, Annie Lennox) and Saleem Raman-drums (Robert Mitchell, David Gilmour).
