When virtuoso pianist Euan Stevenson was our guest recently, he had some fascinating things to say about the unexpected links between jazz and classical music. On Tuesday 24th March he will be playing pure jazz with his trio - Matyas Hofecker (double bass) and Joe Dessauer (drums - also a former guest).
Euan has accompanied some of the top jazz singers in the UK, Australia and the US including Tina May, Anita Wardell, Carla Cook and Hilary Gardner but his longest association by far is as co-writer, arranger and pianist with UK Jazz FM award-winning vocalist Georgia Cécile including recent headline residencies at Ronnie Scott’s and support for Gregory Porter at The Royal Albert Hall.
He is a part time lecturer at The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and a highly regarded private teacher of talented alumni such as Mercury-nominated jazz pianist Fergus McCreadie and arranger Ryan Mackenzie. He has conducted numerous workshops and masterclasses throughout the UK and the US.
