The next Tune Up Tour taking place across Scotland features the acclaimed Ryan Quigley and his Big Band who are joined by solo artist and frontman with Scottish rockers, Del Amitri, Justin Currie. We caught up with Ryan and Justin for a chat about the collaboration, the different locations the tour visits and what to expect from their performances which begin on Friday 12 March.
The renowned jazz trumpeter Ryan Quigley alongside Justin Currie are by the cream of Scottish jazz talent as Ryan takes his Big Band on the road for this very special Tune Up tour. Following a sell out concert at Glasgow International Jazz Festival‘s Homegrown Showcase in 2009, the Big Band is set to raise the bar with a show that will include several Del Amitri songs, as well as new material from Quigley’s acclaimed debut album Laphroaig-ian Slip.
The arrangements, written by Quigley, are tailored to suit Currie’s delivery, pushing the singer in a jazzier direction without losing his own distinctive style.
