Mon 9 July
11pm - Jazz Now
Recorded at the Pizza Express Jazz Club in Soho, Soweto Kinch presents Slowly Rolling Camera in concert. Making a name for itself for long, evolving soundscapes containing dramatic contrasts, the band is led by keyboard player Dave Stapleton. The other members are Nicolas Kunnert, reeds; Stuart McCallum, guitar; Aidan Thorne, bass; and Eliot Bennett, drums, with sound producer Deri Roberts.

This looks to be a move away from the neo-bop Mr Stapleton was working last time I heard.

Dave Stapleteon used crop up as a regular contributor on the old All about Jazz messageboard and I didn't twig for a long while that he produced music under his own name. It was quite interesting running through the names of musicians who contributed and reading their opinions although I think guitarist Vic Juris and an arranger called Kelly provided the most useful insights.
