An evening of jazz featuring Julian Joseph (piano) and Mark Hodgson(double bass)

A rare opportunity to experience the nuanced pianism of Julian Joseph with the deep-toned swing of long-time bassist and collaborator Mark Hodgson. They will play a selection of standards and delve into Joseph’s ever evolving canon of originals; compositions that have marinated over their long-time musical relationship which spans over three decades. This concert comes after a long absence of live music and is the perfect concert to reconnect with the musical experience. Two giants of jazz doing what they do best drawing on the energy and atmosphere of an appreciative audience.

Fiery, nuanced and rich in detail, this is one of the great partnerships in UK jazz, and at this gig each guest spot was underpinned by a swaggering confidence." Mike Hobart, Financial Times, 9 February 2015 (4 stars)

This concert is part of Piccadilly Piano Plus - a chamber music series at St James's Church Piccadilly, in which both established and emerging artists celebrate the many facets of the piano as a means of musical expression and education.
