John Law's Re-Creations

John Law

John Law, a prize-winning classical prodigy on piano, is one of Europe’s finest jazz pianist/composers, having played at many festivals worldwide and recorded over forty albums, working with musicians as diverse as Gwilym Simcock, Andy Sheppard, Jason Rebello, Tim Garland, Iain Ballamy and Evan Parker. John’s main projects currently are his acclaimed contemporary jazz and electronics quartet Congregation featuring Mercury Prize nominee James Mainwaring, Re-Creations – a quartet featuring Parliamentary Jazz Award winner Sam Crockatt, playing new arrangements of jazz and pop tunes - and two classical crossover projects: Goldberg, his recreation, with added visuals, of Bach’s original work and, with pianist David Gordon, Sacre, presenting Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, alongside jazz interpretations of some of the movements. "...combining the vocabularies of jazz and classical in a singular and seamless way, coalescing improvisational surprise and a deep elegiac musicality..." All About Jazz 2011 "...so full of joy that it can renew your faith not just in jazz, but music itself." Phil Johnson, Independent on Sunday 2011 “An interesting and highly gifted maverick musician” Alfred Brendel “One of this country’s most imaginative young pianists” The Times “When he records for ECM he'll become a star” Jazzthethik, Germany “...technical bravura with crystal clear, fast passagework coupled with a sovereign command over everything that is pianistically possible. You wonder if there is actually anything that this pianist cannot do.” Jazz Podium Germany 1997
