The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland

This summer we are excited to welcome back two of our most celebrated guest artists, Iain Ballamy and Liane Carroll. Saxophonist and composer Iain Ballamy performs compositions from his extensive back catalogue, including All Men Amen and Floater. Pianist and vocalist Liane Carroll joins the Orchestra to perform a series of arrangements by Malcolm Edmonstone, including songs made popular by Frank Sinatra, the Beatles, Carole King and others. Liane has led a vocal combo as part of the NYOS Jazz Summer School for the past two years, and this year for the first time, a jazz choir performs with Liane and the Orchestra on tour.

We are also absolutely delighted to announce that NYOS Jazz Orchestra will perform at the BBC Proms 2016 for the first time in its history.

NYOS Jazz Orchestra will be led by Malcolm Edmonstone and Andrew Bain for late-night Prom 28, in which they mark the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death by performing Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn’s musical tribute to the Bard, Such Sweet Thunder. With instruments taking the roles of actors, Ellington’s piece broke new ground when it appeared in 1957 as part of a 12-track Shakespeare-themed album, and it still feels entirely fresh today.

This year, NYOS Jazz Access performs on tour with NYOS Jazz Orchestra for the very first time. Under the direction of Jules Jackson, its repertoire includes an array of big band classics and arrangements of familiar recent hits.

Such Sweet Thunder In 1956, jazz composer and bandleader Duke Ellington was in Stratford, Ontario, appearing with his Jazz Orchestra. Coincidentally, there was a Shakespeare Festival happening at the same time, and the Duke attended several performances. Inspired by what he saw in person, Ellington wrote a suite of music, dedicated to the Bard, entitled Such Sweet Thunder as an “attempt to parallel the vignettes of some of the Shakespearean characters in miniature – sometimes to the point of caricature” (Ellington, 1957).

Much like Shakespeare’s theatre company the King’s Men, Ellington’s orchestra was his own repertory cast, and he wrote each piece specifically for its members.

This suite of music featured such luminaries of the jazz world as Clark Terry, Johnny Hodges and Sam Woodyard.

In 12 movements, Ellington’s Such Sweet Thunder, orchestrated by Billy Strayhorn, focuses on each of the orchestra’s players with specific reference to ten of Shakespeare’s plays. In our version, we feature the most talented jazz musicians in Scotland, in a dedication to both William Shakespeare and Duke Ellington, two of the greatest writers of all time.

Liane Carroll VOCALS & PIANO

Working with NYOS Jazz Orchestra and the Jazz Summer School has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

Being in the paradise that is the Summer School on the Isle of Skye is just so conducive to creativity, and the whole team becomes a fabulous musical family for a few days. I feel honoured to be involved.”

Iain Ballamy SAXOPHONE

Last year was such a memorable time for me on Skye and marked the beginning of a special kinship with NYOS Jazz and my fellow tutors. After our time spent together in rehearsal, in the recording studio and on the road the music grew and blossomed. This band is now fit to play the Royal Albert Hall, and so it will – we have a BBC Prom there on 5 August 2016!

I feel real pride in this band and what we have achieved together.”

Liane Carroll doesn’t just sing jazz. She is jazz. This is jazz of the highest quality.

Believe.” Mojo

Liane Carroll Vocals & Piano London-born and Hastings-raised, award-winning singer/pianist Liane Carroll is one of the UK’s greatest musical treasures.

A soulful, emotive singer, she is capable of reducing listeners to tears with her heartbreaking ability to inhabit a lyric, or of making an audience jump for joy with her breathtaking vocal virtuosity.

What really makes Carroll stand out, however, is the way in which she delivers every song as though she wrote it. A classically trained pianist since the age of three, she possesses a true musicality that lifts her interpretations into the realms of art in their own right. To hear her sing even the best-known standard or the most hackneyed pop song is to hear that song afresh.

In 2010 Liane signed to Quietmoney and released Up and Down featuring Kirk Whalum (saxophone) and the late Kenny Wheeler (flugelhorn).

Ballads followed in 2013 with arrangements specially written by Los Angeles-based, Grammy award winning orchestrator Chris Walden. The album was launched during a sell-out five-night residency at London’s renowned Pizza Express Jazz Club.

Her most recent album Seaside, her third produced by James McMillan of Quietmoney was released on Linn Records in September 2015.

Happily settled in Hastings with her husband, bassist Roger Carey, Liane maintains a hectic schedule of touring both in the UK and abroad, and regularly headlines at London’s legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.

A passionate educator, she is a tutor at workshops, summer schools and festivals and regularly works with young ensembles and choirs.

Ballamy’s is a melodic thoughtful style, born out in beautiful original tunes.”

Time Out

Iain Ballamy Saxophone Iain Ballamy established himself playing alongside notables including Hermeto Pascoal, Gil Evans, George Coleman, Dewey Redman, Mike Gibbs and the New York Composers Orchestra. A founder member of Loose Tubes and Bill Bruford’s Earthworks, Ballamy was also a member of Django Bates’s Human Chain and Delightful Precipice.

Currently signed to ECM records as FOOD with Norwegian percussionist Thomas Strønen and with Quercus featuring June Tabor and Huw Warren, Ballamy also leads an acoustic jazz quartet Anorak featuring pianist Gareth Williams, bassist Steve Watts and drummer Martin France.

His interest in world music has led to collaborative concerts in India, China, Japan, Senegal, Colombia and across Europe, with groups including the Karnataka College of Percussion, Bangalore. Combined arts projects include works with poet Matthew Sweeney, choreographer Henri Oguike and contemporary Indian dance group Sankalpam.

As a soloist, Ballamy premiered Gary Carpenter’s saxophone concerto Set with the BBC Philharmonic in 2014. In 2015 Ballamy performed Concerto for Stan Getz by Richard Rodney Bennett with the BBC Concert Orchestra. Both concertos were broadcast live on BBC Radio 3. Composer credits include commissioned works for the London Sinfonietta, Joanna MacGregor and the Apollo Saxophone Quartet.

Ballamy has scored two award-winning feature films for director Dave McKean: Luna and Mirrormask for the Jim Henson Company. In 2001 he was awarded the BBC Radio 3 Special Award for Innovation at the British Jazz Awards. Ballamy was also awarded the prestigious Paul Hamlyn Award for composition in 2007.

Iain is an Honorary Associate of the Royal Academy of Music, London, and visiting professor at Leeds College of Music, the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama and the Royal Academy of Music.

a truly astonishing musician” The Daily Telegraph

combines a sensuous touch with Bach-like precision” The Guardian

Music Director of NYOS Jazz Orchestra Malcolm Edmonstone Malcolm Edmonstone is among the most versatile and in-demand jazz musicians in the country. He is Head of Jazz at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, and Music Director of Jazz for The National Youth Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS).

His breadth of experience in the fields of jazz education, performance and writing is unrivalled.

Early in his professional life, Malcolm was called on by Laurie Holloway to cover the piano chair on an international tour with his wife, the late Marion Montgomery. Since then Malcolm has continued to work with Laurie on various projects, including Strictly Come Dancing, when his arrangements were broadcast live to audiences of ten million.

Malcolm has a long-lasting association with the Dankworth family, having been appointed Jacqui’s musical director some ten years ago. Throughout that time he has worked extensively as arranger and pianist for numerous tours and recording projects, the most recent of which is the album It Happens Quietly, a collaboration between Jacqui and her late father, the great Sir John Dankworth.

Other albums include Back to You and Detour Ahead.

He is a member of Mike Walker’s Madhouse band and has been invited to play with legendary jazz musicians Peter Erskine and Dave Liebman.

In preparation for the NYOS Jazz Summer Tour 2015, Malcolm crafted new arrangements of a selection of tracks from the extensive back catalogue of the gifted saxophonist and composer Iain Ballamy, originally created only to be performed live during the tour with Iain as guest artist. However, the arrangements and the performance levels, both live and in the studio, were of such a high standard that them prompted Iain to capture it all for his new album, due for release in 2016.

He has performed at many prestigious venues in the UK, Europe and the US, including the BBC Proms and the Montreux Jazz Festival.

Receiving his MMus from the Manhattan School of Music, he was resident in New York from 2001 and 2007. During this time he performed extensively with Thelonious Monk Competition winner Jon Irabagon, as well as with Mostly Other People Do The Killing, Dave Lalama and Matt Brewer. He has performed at many of New York’s famous clubs including Sin-é, CBGBs, Tonic and the Mercury Lounge, and recorded at Sony Studios. Andrew co-leads the NY-based group Confluence whose eponymous debut showcased original and highly inventive compositions. Their second disk will be released on the record label Fresh Sound, New Talent later this year. He launched a new project Player Piano with Mike Walker, Gwilym Simcock, Iain Dixon and Steve Watts to great reviews in October 2015, and will launch another new project with pianist George Colligan, saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Michael Janisch in November 2016.

Andrew is Senior Lecturer in Jazz at the Birmingham Conservatoire and Principal Conductor of Jazz for the National Youth Orchestras of Scotland (NYOS).
