In this world premiere concert, saxophonist and composer Paul Towndrow presents a brand new collection of compositions, inspired by the vastness of the ocean, bridging the worlds of jazz, folk and classical music.
“The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite. ”
Jules Verne, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea
Towndrow joins forces with longtime co-conspirators Alyn Cosker and Pete Johnstone alongside rising star of the double bass, Ali Watson. They are joined by a string quartet comprising the talents of key instrumentalists from the orchestral world.
About Paul Towndrow
Saxophonist Paul Towndrow is best known as a bandleader of ensembles ranging from duo to sextet. From 2001-2021 he was a member of Scotland’s flagship jazz orchestra, The SNJO, before leaving the organisation to focus on solo pursuits. More recently he has worked as a composer and saxophonist for the groundbreaking Grit Orchestra. Performing professionally since the age of 15, and having spent his formative musical years studying on both sides of the Atlantic, Towndrow has become one the UK’s busiest musicians.
Paul has released six solo albums and has appeared as a sideman on many others. Much of his output is released on his own label, Keywork Records which was founded in 2005.

“His albums confirm the contemporary Scottish scene's membership of the world league.”

一月的一個週日下午，我們自發性地來到這裡，玩得很開心。我們的小男孩喜歡參觀&ldquo;老式房子&rdquo;，從收銀機到公寓，再到外面，所有工作人員都照顧得很好。

我們去了兩次（每次訪問之間都有輪班！），毫無疑問，對格拉斯哥數千個類似故事的洞察是非常棒的。另外，我們的男孩非常喜歡在他挖的瓦利上著色。這是一顆隱藏的寶石，非常值得在加內西爾漫步。
