Stan Tracey’s Under Milk Wood is widely regarded as one of the great British jazz pieces, and perhaps the pianist-composer’s defining work. Written as a suite inspired by Dylan Thomas’s famous radio play, the piece captures the surreal, lyrical, and often humorous spirit of Thomas’s world, while translating it into a distinctly modern jazz idiom.The piece is not a literal retelling of Thomas’s text but a series of musical character sketches and moods like “Starless and Bible Black” and “No Good Boyo” stand out for their bold harmonies and rhythmic bite, mixing angular phrasing with moments of lush lyricism.
If you love Jazz or Dylan Thomas or both – this is an evening, you should not miss.
