Jenni Molloy’s Bach Uploaded to record live debut album
Jenni Molloy will be recording an eagerly awaited debut live album with her group Bach Uploaded at the Howard Assembly Room, the beautiful new arts venue at Leeds Grand Theatre on Sunday 22nd March at 8pm.
Jenni’s innovative and original compositions are a blend of contemporary, classical, ambient jazz-fusion and have been inspired by some of Bach’s rhythmic and melodic ideas. They have been tweaked, squashed and tampered with, lifted from the confines of tradition and slammed into a jazz fuelled environment; all with due respect and admiration for arguably the most prolific composer that ever lived.
Joining Jenni for an evening of cutting edge ensemble playing will be Stuart MacDonald (soprano & tenor saxophones) and Chris Sykes (drums).
Yorkshire based record label Jellymould Jazz will be recording the gig for Bach Uploaded’s debut album in the inspirational new Opera North venue the Howard Assembly Room. The once derelict cinema has been restored to its former Victorian splendour and its warm ambience and acoustics will be the ideal setting for this inspired musical collaboration.
