TANGO! The Romano Viazzani Ensemble – Sunday Lunchtime- 10th March 2019 Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho- artist change. The Romano Viazzani Ensemble has been busy preparing for their Sunday lunchtime concert. It’s with great sadness though that they are to lose their long-time excellent double bass player Yaron Stavi and his fiancée the wonderful violinist Corinna Hentschel as they are emigrating to Germany. The ensemble is very lucky to secure two wonderful new permanent members in the form of Nick Pini on double bass and Barbara Dziewiecka-Data on violin who will be stepping in on March 10th. The Ensemble will be playing Tangos by Piazzolla, Traditional Tangos and some new compositions form the Ensemble’s forthcoming album London Tango.
Joanna Stand makes an impromptu return to The Pheasantry to celebrate the music of Michael Legrand as a tribute to the composer of so many well loved songs including Windmills of my Mind, The Summer Knows and Yentyl. With John Bailey on piano. Special guest appearance: Romano Viazzani (accordion)
