In association with Live & Local Dudley Moore's fame as a beloved comic actor and Hollywood movie star, and his complex and highly conflicted life story, has rather overshadowed his singular gifts as a witty and imaginative jazzman and composer. A scintillating live performance laced through with anecdote and insight, this heartfelt tribute - by an outstanding trio - revisits Dud's dazzlingly fertile musicianship and reveals the richness and sheer likability of his music, with irresistible feel-good sounds alongside heart-rending beauty and poignancy.In this vibrant, sophisticated and moving homage, the Chris Ingham Trio revisits Dud's music from the 1960s when he was a UK TV star and his fertile musicianship was at its height, years before his Hollywood fame. Justly honouring this prematurely lost and sadly missed jazz hero with delightful music, spiced with gentle anecdote and insight, this is an evening of intimate and heartfelt pleasure. Some pieces are quintessential expressions of the bright, optimistic, swinging 60s, others are deeply poignant, personal expressions of a darker, more complex world. Sometimes there is a unique and bittersweet mix of the two.
