The 50s: The Decade That Changed the World
Thursday 16 May 2024, 8pm
National Concert Hall, Dublin
RT Concert Orchestra
Guy Barker conductor
Giacomo Smith clarinet/saxophone
Clare Teal and Cormac Kenevey vocalists
James Pearson piano
Following the extraordinary Guy Barker's Gatsby & Beyond New Year's Eve Extravaganza, this night of 1950s jazz promises to showcase the decade that changed the world, drawing on influences from Elvis to Ella Fitzgerald.
An opening medley pays tribute to the amazing albums that came out in the cornerstone year of 1959, featuring music by John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman and more.
Top names in jazz joining the RT CO and its Associate Artist are pianist James Pearson, Artistic Director at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club, virtuoso clarinettist and sax player Giacomo Smith and award-winning vocalist Clare Teal.
Guy Barker's new clarinet concerto, The Art of the Hang, gets its first Irish performance. This concerto, which pays homage to the 1950s, was written during lockdown and is dedicated to his late friend John Cumming of Serious Productions. It takes its title from an observation in an obituary that Cumming was master of the art of the pre-show, interval and post-show hang (the most essential skill in a music promoter)'.
Clare Teal will join the orchestra for numbers including Judy Garland's Get Happy and Doris Day's Secret Love, and Cormac Kenevey will sing I'm Walkin' and Heartbreak Hotel. The RT CO will perform a 1950s movie medley including music from A Streetcar Named Desire (1951), Lift to the Scaffold (1958), and Otto Preminger noirs The Man with the Golden Arm (1955) and Anatomy of a Murder (1959).
The evening will finish with a magnificent Louis Prima medley featuring both vocalists. It will pay tribute to the wave-making American trumpeter and singer, whose style was rooted in New Orleans jazz, swing music and jump blues, drawing also on Italian culture and language, blending elements of his Italian and Sicilian identity with his music.
Tickets 15- 42.50 from www.nch.ie / 01 417 0000 | Presented by the RT Concert Orchestra
