JAMES PEARSON

James Pearson returns for a whistle stop tour through 100 years of jazz piano featuring the music of Oscar Peterson, Erroll Garner, George Shearing, Chick Corea and many more. James, Artistic Director at Ronnie Scott’s, is an internationally known pianist par excellence. An extraordinary talent from an early age, it’s easier to name the stars that James hasn’t played with than those he has. James’ voyage into the iconic exponents of the jazz piano will take you through the history of jazz and showcase his total mastery of the instrument.

This marvellous musical, performed by pupils from Queen's College Junior School, packs a powerful punch with crazy characters and spectacular songs.
