LSO St Luke's: Jazz Inflections - Simon Höfele

In the first concert of a series of jazz-inflected chamber music, Simon Höfele and Frank Dupree perform two Gershwin masterpieces: American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue.

Hannah French presents the first concert in a series of chamber music inspired by Jazz. Today, Simon Höfele, one of the most exciting young trumpeters of his generation, is joined by the pianist Frank Dupree to perform two of Gershwin's most iconic works: American in Paris and Rhapsody in Blue. Together, they also perform jazz-inflected works by Olga Neuwirth and Daniel Schnyder, plus Chet Baker's arrangement of Elvis Costello's Almost Blue.
