"you rehearse until you're hitting everything on the head, and here comes a band like the Savoy Sultans, raggedy, fuzzy sounding, and they upset everything.'What am I doing here?' you wonder. But that's the way it is. That's jazz. If you get too clean, too precise. you don't swing sometimes, and the fun goes out of the music." - Trombonist Dicky Wells

Richard Luck's Shanghai Print E-mail
Written by Don Berryman   
Monday, 29 August 2005
Image Shanghai is the debut from the young London-born bebop-influenced jazz pianist, Richard Luck. This album features Luck on piano with Kevin Jones on Bass and Matt McDonough on drums performing standards, three Richard Luck originals and a hymn.

Richard Luck performs the songs on this recording with flair and a style that echoes New York of the 50's. Luck's original songs are inventive and even on familiar tunes there are twists and turns to keep listeners interested. This debut CD offering provides a glimpse into what should be a promising future contributing to the world of jazz.

Richard studied at Goldsmiths' College, University of London studying piano and performing with the University Big Band. He began Post Graduate work in Jazz Performance at Trinity College of Music, where he began performing with many ensembles including Trinity College Big Band and the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO). It was at Trinity College he formed what is now his working trio. Richard spent the best part of a year touring the world on the QE2 and backing up many world-class acts.
