Recent reviews - Sally Night :

“An effervescent live performer (with echoes of Ella and Sarah), innately gifted vocalist Sally Night swings like a true diva”
…Pizza Express - Jazz Club Soho

“Night has a superb voice, sultry yet powerful - You can hear the joy and passion in her voice on every song and it sounds as if she is truly loving every moment of what she is doing - Jazz isn’t the easiest of genres to crack but Night makes it look simple. Sally Night has a remarkable talent”…Entertainment Focus UK

“Sally Night is a jazz singer determined to revive all the old classics and bring the beauty of jazz music into everyone’s lives, regardless of their age”…Female First

“Night brings swing back home with romantic and emotional songs from across the decades - smooch and smolder to her vibrant yet dusky tones and let Sally Night carry you off into the moonlight with her maturely rounded vocalization and stylized delivery - easy on the ear, sweet musical romance for any generation, any time and any place - pure class, serious mood music and a pretty powerful aural aphrodisiac - tasty, very very tasty!!” … Peter J Brown/toxic pete

National Jazz Piano Competion

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

 
I am contacting you on behalf of the Nottingham National Jazz Piano Competition organising committee.  The Competition is being held in Nottingham on 25th - 27th July 2008.  From the initial entries, just twelve pianists have been selected to perform in the semi final rounds (25th and 26th July) and from these, just four will proceed to the grand final (27th July).  The standard of entries was very high and our judges; Dave Newton, Jonathan Gee, Tim Richards and James Harpham have had a difficult time selecting the semi finalists.  All the pianists are under thirty years of age with the youngest being just seventeen.
 
The Competition is being staged by Clement Pianos, Nottingham with the help of generous sponsorship from Blüthner pianos (Leipzig, Germany), EMJazz and Jazz Steps.  Mr Stan Tracey OBE is the Honorary President.
 
The Competition is for solo jazz piano so no drums or bass to hide behind!  Each pianist will have to perform to their maximum potential during the twenty minutes they have in the semi finals to impress our judges.
 
First prize is a Blüthner upright piano worth nearly £16,000. a recording session to make a CD and a National tour for all four finalists to be arranged by EMJazz and Jazz Steps.
 
Full details are available from www.nnjpc.com or by phoning Mick or Andy Wilson on 0115 9701106.
 
If there is anyone from your company that would like to join us for any or all of the three days, please let me know as soon as possible so I can reserve your complimentary tickets.
 
 
Many thanks,
 
Mick Wilson
For and on behalf of the organising committee.

Victor Prieto. “A fiendishly skilled accordionist and composer” ….”An effervescent improviser”….”A dynamic jazz accordionist”
The New York Times

 

Prieto has raised the bar on what is possible on the accordion. His intensity and delight penetrate all barriers.
The New York Post
Prieto plays accordion the way Toots Thielmans plays harmonica or Dino Saluzzi plays bandoneon. He transcends the instrument and just plays music. The key features of Prieto’s music are lyricism and drama. He writes fine, memorable melodies, then works with the band to create tracks with a very clear dramatic arch, sometimes more than one, engaging and carrying the listener forward… He tells stories and paints pictures with music
