Neville Dickie: “A History of Jazz Piano – The Early Years”.

An Evening of Ragtime, Stride Piano & Boogie Woogie featuring the works of Scott Joplin, Fats Waller and George Gershwin to name but a few.

British Jazz Pianist Neville Dickie returns home from America to bring us a truly memorable experience of the Jazz Piano styles of Harlem in the 1930’s.

The music originates from a time when the Piano was King and piano players were ‘two-fisted’, rumbustious and romping with a ‘Handful of Keys’! They would whip up a storm and the ‘Joint was always Jumpin’ to this high energy, competitive and very demanding style of playing.

Neville is internationally acclaimed as a master of these styles and is one of few remaining pianists in the world who are capable of authentically bringing this music back to life.

This is a show not to be missed as Neville not only performs these legendary Jazz Piano classics, but also talks about the players, the compositions and the composers who provided the foundations for modern Jazz Piano – Welcome back to Harlem !

Be ready to hold on to your hats, as your feet tap and your spirits soar to the sounds of this joyous and exuberant music.
