On Sunday
24th March we proudly present Richard Iles and Les Chisnall, two
musicians of the highest quality who form part of the beating heart of
jazz in the North West and beyond.
Richard and Les have been playing together for over 30 years working in various group settings and the last 10 years as a duo. They enjoy playing a wide variety of jazz from the standard repertoire to their own original music which is steeped in the jazz tradition. The Olive Bar at the Gregson Centre is going to be the perfect setting to experience their intimate and engaging music, full of twists and turns, swinging and soulful.
Richard Iles is a jazz trumpeter, composer and educator based in the North West. After leaving the Leeds College of Music in 1980 Richard became a founding member of the Creative Jazz Orchestra performing with Kenny Wheeler, Mike Gibbs, Vince Mendoza, Peter Erskine, and Bill Frisell as well as being a member of the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra working with John Scofield and Gary Burton amongst others. Formerly principal lecturer in jazz at Leeds Conservatoire he now teaches at Chethams School of Music.
