Coleman Cornish improvise upon Eric Satie's 'Gymnopedie' in a live concert. Gymnopedie #1 Satie Often unfairly described as 'furniture music', Gymnopedies were a breakaway from traditions of the time (late 19th century) and have also inspired a number of jazz versions. It is a small adjustment of imagination when listening to jazz pianist Bill Evans play 'Alice in Wonderland' to imagine how he might have interpreted 'Premiere Gymnopedie' together with flautist Jeremy Steig. Improvisations on Classics: Trevor Coleman (piano, trumpet) and Nick Cornish (alto soprano saxes, cor anglais, flute) combine their skills and passion in presenting a programme of improvisations on classical compositions. It's been a natural progression for Coleman and Cornish, both well versed in classical and jazz traditions, to explore the similarities and variations in the harmonic development of these two idioms. The chosen pieces are from composers also renowned for their improvisational prowess, adapted by Coleman and Cornish in a contemporary context, whilst maintaining the integrity of the original.
