Mark Lewandowski Trio - Fats Waller Project at Bonington Theatre

About

Fats Waller was one of the greatest and most enduring songwriters of the early jazz age. Bassist Mark Lewandowksi’s new trio aims to challenge themselves by finding ways of bringing such a strong musical
identity into the 21st century while retaining the core values that his
music stands for – swing, romance, humour and, most importantly, its
social relevance. Mark says of this project “I want to bring the music
of Fats Waller to people that will already be familiar with much of his work; however, I want to approach it in a very personal way which will show my admiration, respect and love for his work.” The trio made a live recording of material from the 2016 London Jazz Festival which will available on Whirlwind Records in spring 2017.
