BMJ Collective and guest Gethin Liddington
Sunday 9th February 2025: 7pm
Melville Centre, Abergavenny
Our mid-month early start event sees BMJ Collective welcome special guest Gethin Liddington on trumpet, with a Gerry Mulligan/Chet Baker set.
The Gerry Mulligan-Chet Baker Quartet revolutionized jazz in 1952 with its piano-less, counterpoint-driven style. Mulligan’s compositions and Baker’s natural interplay created the foundation of the West Coast sound. Their recordings, like “Bernie’s Tune,” showcased simplicity, subtlety, and innovation, defining cool jazz.
This exciting session includes guest Gethin Liddington who studied at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama between 1989 and 1993 and now teaches trumpet there.
His versatility and wide experience has seen him working with a number of top musicians, including (to name a few) the Syd Lawrence Orchestra, Pasadena Roof Orchestra, Blue Harlem, Keith Tippett, Paula Gardiner Katherine Jenkins and the Welsh National Opera.
He has also performed on radio and TV sessions, as well as featuring on film soundtracks.
This event will be an exciting an interesting collaboration.
