Gwilym Simcock Barber Blues // LSO Percussion Ensemble & Gwilym Simcock, piano

The LSO Percussion Ensemble performs Gwilym Simcock's Barber Blues at the LSO Summer Shorts series at LSO St Luke's, recorded on 6 August 2021. The LSO Percussion Ensemble is Neil Percy, David Jackson, Sam Walton, Jacob Brown and Gwilym Simcock. PROGRAMME NOTE Gwilym Simcock originally composed Barber Blues (2012) for his Anglo-American jazz supergroup The Impossible Gentlemen. It features on their 2013 album Internationally Recognised Aliens. The title refers not to hairdressing but to the composer Samuel Barber, whose piano work Excursions – a fusion of classical forms and American folk idioms – inspired Simcock’s merging of jazz and classical styles here. The piece combines a 16-bar repeated bass-line structure associated with the Blues with intricate counterpoint reminiscent of the keyboard music of Bach. As it progresses the textures become increasingly elaborate, until the final bars return to the opening’s relative simplicity. Barber Blues exists in several versions, including ones for piano, percussion, electric guitar and electric bass, and for two pianos. This version received its premiere in 2019.
