The Alan Barnes All Stars Octet presents "Copperfield"
With Alan Barnes on saxophone, clarinet and bass clarinet, Bruce Adams on trumpet, Mark Nightingale on trombone, Robert Fowler on saxophones and clarinet, Karen Sharp on saxophones and clarinet, David Newton on piano, Simon Thorpe on bass, and Clark Tracey on drums
Like the Dickens classic itself, Alan Barnes's "Copperfield" has something for everyone. A great night out that is also a treat for the jazz connoisseur; it will delight anyone who loves music or literature - or just being entertained!
This new suite of pieces, touring for the first time this year, takes the audience through the characters and scenes of ‘David Copperfield". Readings from the original Dickens tell the story, and after each scene eight virtuoso musicians bring the characters and scenes to life, switching audiences from hilarity to pathos with a skill that would have done credit to Dickens himself!...
