About
Sam Hogarth combines a deep love of the jazz repertoire with a fresh approach to harmonisation that is evident in his original compositions. His influences include modern greats such as Chick Corea and Norma Winstone and more tradition-rooted players like Bill Charlap and Dick Hyman, but also range back as far as Teddy Wilson and Fats Waller. He lives in Germany and is a regular at the Frankfurt Jazzkeller, also hosting a residency in his adopted home Mainz.
One year after debuting his new trio line-up with Jay Davis and long-time collaborator Tom Farmer, the band returns to the Vortex for what promises to be a hugely enjoyable evening of standards, originals and arrangements, with music ranging from the Great American Songbook to adaptations from the singer-songwriter and folk song repertoire.
