Additional Information

Tenor Madness is a piano trio project that takes Renaissance and Baroque themes and improvises on them in the modern idiom. Their highly-praised collaborative projects with choirs and other instrumentalists have brought fresh light to works by composers including Gesualdo, Salamone Rossi, Purcell, Byrd, and JS and JC Bach. Tenor Madness have broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and performed at the Aldeburgh Festival, the Cambridge Jazz Festival and the London Jazz Festival.

Harpsichordist, jazz pianist and composer David Gordon trained as a mathematician at Bristol University before turning to music full-time, and he has since toured all over the world. He appears on countless CDs as composer, leader and sideman. David has written four concertos, the most recent – entitled Earthcycle – is itself a sequence of four mini-violin-concertos, written as companion pieces to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons.

Sandy Burnett enjoys a wide-ranging career that combines broadcasting, performing and lecturing. After a decade spent as presenter on BBC Radio 3 he was appointed the Academy of Ancient Music’s Hogwood Fellow. He has directed all of Bach’s sacred cantatas and is a first-call double bass player. During lockdown he established an online classical music appreciation Listening Club, and is an accredited Art Society lecturer.

Tom Hooper began playing drums on the sofa with chop sticks at about six years old. He began playing professionally at age 14, performing with local bands and summer season theatre pit work in Cornwall; later he gained a jazz performance degree from London’s Royal Academy of Music. Tom’s extensive performing and recording credits include Steve Harley, Grace Jones, Simple Minds, Sir John Dankworth OBE, Wynton Marsalis, Omar, and Ben Earle.
