Sat 16th Nov, 7.30pm- John Law piano
- Jon Lloyd tenor saxophone
John returns to Der Bunglehoff and this time he’s bringing a pal. Composer and pianist John Law and tenor saxophonist Jon Lloyd will play an evening of improvised, ambient and gently uplifting pieces taken from their album, Naissance. There’s a very good chance you might just drift away in the evening and fall off your seat..
John Law
John Law started classical piano at the age of four, playing in public at the age of six. With early encouragement from the Austrian concert pianist Alfred Brendel he was awarded a scholarship to study piano and composition at the Royal Academy of Music where he studied from 1979 to 1983, winning prizes for piano playing. After being awarded an Austrian government scholarship to study with the Viennese pianist Paul Badura-Skoda he studied for a year in Vienna at the Hochschule für Musik und darstellende Kunst, Wien. It was in Vienna that he first came across jazz and decided to pursue a career in this field, hoping to combine his love of the piano and performing with his interest in composition.
The rest, as they say is history..
