Jonathan Gee Trio

Pianist/singer Jonathan Gee brings his trio to Exeter combining three of his recent shows in one. The first slice is from his Beatles Reimagined album that Jonathan recorded with Bari sax maestro Gaetano Partipilo. Lennon/McCartney songs transformed in a contemporary jazz manner. The second is from an 80's project created for Lichfield Music Festival of rearranged Spandau Ballet, Kate Bush, Wayne Shorter and Micheal Brecker tunes from that era. The third is original compositions from Jonathan which featured on his latest vocal album The Lions Revisited. Jonathan Gee is one of the most imaginative composer-pianists operating today, with a succession of ever-enticing bands and projects, with world-class line-ups from Europe and the US. Aside from his own bands, which have produced 11 albums, he has also worked closely with Bobby Wellins, Claire Martin, and Tim Whitehead, Joe Lovano, Mark Murphy and Art Farmer. With Tony Kofi, he co-founded the Monk Liberation Front, whose legendary performances of the complete Thelonious Monk catalogue have led to award-winning recordings.
