As part of A Celebration of Keith Tippett, St. George’s Bristol presents a session in two parts featuring two sets of musicians closely associated with the late musician – Matthew Bourne & Glen Leach, and Julie Tippetts and Maggie Nichols.Matthew Bourne – piano, keyboards
Glen Leach – piano, keyboards
A pianistic tribute to the maestro by two path-finding musicians inspired by his remarkable and unique solo improvisations. Matthew Bourne was a long-standing admirer of Keith Tippett’s work – in fact he is quoted as saying that “Keith Tippett is the reason I play piano the way I do”. In 2019 he teamed up with Keith to perform a series of duos, which would prove to be Keith’s last performance project. A recording of that duo project is in the pipeline - Aeolian will be released as a double CD set on Discus Music, and containing both studio and concert performances of this project. The recordings will be available to buy at the celebration weekend.
Julie Tippetts – voice
Maggie Nicols – voice
Julie and Maggie, close friends since the days of Centipede, were also vocalists in the Tapestry Orchestra. As a duo they recorded the album Sweet and S’Ours and performed many times in duo as well as in trio with “our pianist, Keith.”
