Jazz i Malmö presenterar i samarbete med Fridhems Jazzlinje och Skurups Jazzlinje: Tom Ollendorff & Will Vinson (UK)

När en ung, extremt spännande och lovande jazzgitarrist slår ihop sig med en av världens bästa jazzsaxofonister då blir det hänförande magi. Tom Ollendorff och Will Vinson hör vi tillsammans med James Maddren på trummor och Conor Chaplin på bas. En konsertkväll utöver det vanliga garanteras.

’Guitarist Tom Ollendorff teams up with one of the jazz world’s great saxophonists Will Vinson for an unmissable run of dates this Autumn, to celebrate the release of Tom’s critically acclaimed album Open House’

Described by Jazzwise as a ’combination of fearsome musical chops, sophisticated compositional sensibility and unashamedly tuneful and upbeat musical personality which is very hard to resist’, the new album cements Tom’s status as one of the finest emerging guitarists on the international jazz scene.

Joining Tom for this concert are drummer James Maddren and bassist Conor Chaplin.

Tom Ollendorff is considered one of the most exciting young guitarists on the UK and International Jazz scenes. Known for his distinctive sound which blends virtuosic guitar playing with sophisticated harmonic and melodic ideas, his music elegantly mixes gracefully grooving songlike themes, baroque-like unaccompanied etudes and headlong fast-bop swing.

Originally from London, Alto Saxophonist/Composer Will Vinson has made his career in New York City and the world. Since his arrival in NYC, he has appeared and/or recorded with Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ari Hoenig, Jonathan Kreisberg, Marcus Gilmore, Chris Potter, Kurt Elling, Lage Lund, Aaron Parks, and many others.

Will has an international reputation as a leader and sideman. All About Jazz New York describes Will as playing “with a relentless force”. Thomas Michelsen of Denmark’s Politiken, hails this “very exciting saxophonist” with a “beautiful, softly modulating tone”, and John Fordham of The Guardian described a ”superb solo of rugged leathery sounds turning into mellifluous high notes”with “secure control and storming energy”. Time Out London calls will an ”exciting young altoist with a lethal approach to writing and soloing”.
