The Tommy Evans Orchestra

Julian Joseph presents a concert given by emerging bandleader Tommy Evans and his Orchestra at the 2011 Scarborough Jazz Festival. Including part of the suite The Green Seagull.

Julian Joseph presents concert music by emerging bandleader Tommy Evans and his Orchestra recorded at the 2011 Scarborough Jazz Festival. Evans studied jazz at Leeds College of Music majoring in performance and composition and this year was the winner of the Jazz Yorkshire 'Big Band Of The Year' Award, having previously won the British Academy of Songwriting and Composers Award for 'Contemporary Jazz Composition' in 2011.
Today's concert music features highlights from Part 1 of 'The Green Seagull' suite which was inspired by the life of Tommy's uncle, David Partridge. It was originally commissioned by the Marsden Jazz Festival and conjures up Partridge's passion, humour, eccentricity and his deep belief in tolerance, diversity and equality all of which have been a huge inspiration to Evans.
