Chris Coull
post-bop vocal jazz soul jazz
Influences: Bill Evans, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson
Trumpet and flugelhorn player Chris Coull leads a quintet through freshly arranged Gershwin classics alongside the honey-toned vocalist Imogen Ryall, reimagining Porgy and Bess as a dynamic, swinging post-bop exploration that honours the source material while pushing it forward with modern sophistication. Coull's arrangements strip these standards down and rebuild them with thoughtful hip sensibility, creating an evening that marries 1930s narrative with contemporary jazz sensibilities.
