About

An award-winning jazz violinist of power and musicality, Chris Garrick joins us tonight with his classic quartet, featuring Chrisโ€™s long time musical compatriot Dave Gordon on piano and keyboards with Ole Rasmussen on bass and Paul Cavaciuti, drums. The band beautifully supplement Chrisโ€™s inventive and totally absorbing approach to his instrument, performing a mix of standard and more contemporary material that is quite remarkable and definitely something to look out for. Taking his lead from Stรฉphane Grappelli, Stuff Smith and Jean Luc Ponty, Chris has virtually revitalised the jazz violin, rejuvenating it for the 21st century and prompting violin superstar Nigel Kennedy (with whom Chris has performed many times) to call him one of the best in Europe. His fluent and inventive playing has been heard with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Dame Cleo Laine, Birรฉli Lagrรจne, Dolly Parton & Van Morrison and a string of awards are testament to a thoughtful but at the same time joyous approach to the music. He has appeared on dozens of recordings as leader or sideman, his CD โ€œDifferent Strokesโ€ named โ€œOutstanding British album of the Yearโ€ by the Sunday Times amongst other accolades. He also works extensively in film and television for composers such as Danny Elfman, Anne Dudley, Howard Shore, Rachel Portman and other A-listers, and when not performing himself, is a professor of jazz and non-classical violin studies at the Royal Academy of Music, Royal College of Music and Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London.
