100 YEARS OF OSCAR PETERSON

After a UK tour last year which included dates in London, Ireland and Paris, the Dean Stockdale Quartet are ready to perform a new set of the music of legendary jazz pianist Oscar Peterson, marking the centennial of his birth. The quartet features Tim Williams on Guitar, Gavin Barras on bass and Gaz Hughes on drums. Tonight will feature special new arrangements of Oscar’s music, in particular his original compositions and music from his most popular albums, showcasing his infectious swing and piano virtuosity, plus music from the quartet’s album ‘Celebrating Oscar’.

Dean Stockdale is a highly regarded jazz pianist, arranger and composer based in the North of England who is known for his sensitive, swinging style. He regularly appears around the UK with his trio and some of the best names in UK and international jazz. His biggest influences in jazz are the piano styles of Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Gene Harris, Mulgrew Miller and Erroll Garner. Dean continues to be in demand as a performer with his trio and quartet, and as pianist for touring jazz artists, accompanist for vocalists and as a teacher and session pianist. 2016 saw the release of his debut album Origin, followed by ‘Promise the Moon’, which was featured on BBC Radio 3, Jazz FM and BBC Introducing. His latest release ‘Celebrating Oscar’ is available now and has received wide acclaim.
