Dave Cottle Trio & Sarah Meek: Tribute to Louis & Ella
Tonight we welcome to the Club the terrific pianist/trumpet player Dave Cottle with his quartet featuring the wonderful singer Sarah Meek, who will be performing songs from the Great American Songbook inspired by the classic recordings from Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. The resident house pianist at Swansea Jazz Club for the past 30 years, Dave has a wealth of musical experience, while since graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, Sarah has firmly established herself as a fine jazz and session singer with an engaging stage presence and winning personality. The gig also includes arrangements and original songs from Dave’s new album in the style of Louis and Ella. Completing the band are two talented upcoming young musicians, Cameron Saint-bass & Euan Crawford-McKee-drums. And watch out for Dave’s mastery of playing Trumpet and Piano at the same time! Fun gig this.
“…very impressed by Sarah Meek’s performance which combined expressiveness with an impressive technical ability” The Jazz Mann
