Live Jazz London - Soho Interpretations: Jaco Pastorius (with Gwilym Simcock). Gwilym Simcock's prodigious creations on the piano straddle the border between classical and jazz to mesmerising effect...a stupendous improviser and a remarkable musician all round The Observer.

Hes a formidable musician as well as a formidable pianist, with a feeling for the way harmony can create architecture as well as momentary colours a rare gift The Telegraph.

Jaco Pastorius was a meteor who blazed on to the scene in the 1970s. With a brilliantly fleet technique and fertile melodic imagination, Pastorius made his fretless electric bass leap out from the depths of the rhythm section into the front line with fluid machine-gun-like passages that demanded attention. He also sported a strutting, dancing, flamboyant performing style and posed a further triple-threat as a talented composer, arranger and producer. He and Stanley Clarke were the towering influences on their instrument in the 1970s.

Soho Interpretations: PizzaExpress is delighted to announce a regular series of Monday night shows featuring the Jazz Clubs greats interpreting the music of Jazz Legends. Artists will come together for concerts that lovingly pay homage to their heroes. The legends in question have created some of the most innovative and expressive music in Jazz history and these shows will show case their music by some the current crop of leading Jazz artists
