Thu 25 June - Cheltenham
Bach, and All That Jazz
We are excited to be working with The David Gordon Quartet to present a programme featuring motets by J.S. and J.C. Bach sung by the choir, interspersed with jazz improvisations reflecting on the themes of the motets. The music of both Bachs has a strong affinity with jazz conventions, particularly in how the melodic lines interact with one another. This promises to be an intriguing and enjoyable evening of music.
The David Gordon Quartet features David Gordon on Piano, James Ayre on Drums, Dave Ayre on Bass, and Dom Franks on Saxophone.
Date and Time: This concert is on Thursday, 25th June 2026. It starts at 8:00pm and will run for about 1 hour without an interval. Doors will open from 7:30pm.
Venue:: St Andrew’s United Reformed Church, Montpellier Street, Cheltenham, GL50 1SP
