About Rhapsody in Blue - Jazz Sessions by Candlelight

Award-winning Scottish pianist Matthew Shiel leads his jazz band on a swinging, toe-tapping odyssey through blues, Berlin cabaret, ragtime and New York jazz piano improv with poignant storytelling – by candlelight. Programme includes Joplin’s The Entertainer, Brubeck’s Take Five, Gershwin’s showstopper Rhapsody in Blue and cabaret music by the Jewish composer Erwin Schulhoff (1894-1942) – who was murdered by the Third Reich for the "crime" of composing jazz. Fringe Classics are ★★★★★ rated: 'Enchanting... amusing, enlightening stories' ★★★★★ (EdinburghGuide.com). 'An atmosphere which is all too often missed in our digital world' ★★★★★ (CorrBlimey.com). 'Ripping good yarn' ★★★★★ (BingeFringe.com). Matthew Shiel is an award-winning pianist who has collaborated with BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra (broadcast on BBC Radio 3), The Band of His Majesty’s Royal Marine Band Scotland and has been broadcast on Al Jazeera.
