Double bassist Martyn Spencer takes centre stage to lead a dynamic piano trio at Peggy's Skylight, exploring the pivotal role of bass in jazz history. Drawing on the works of legendary players including Paul Chambers, Ray Brown, and Ron Carter, alongside bass-playing composers such as Charles Mingus and Jaco Pastorius, this performance traces the influence of the low-end instrument in shaping the music's evolution.
Spencer is joined by pianist Andrzej Baranek, recognised as one of the country's most sought-after players, and drummer Tymoteusz Jozwiak. The trio delivers an engaging programme that moves beyond the traditional rhythm section role, showcasing the bass as a creative force in jazz.
