This tour is in support of this release. The trio play a collection of favourite songs from America's pre-eminent composer and lyricist, presented here with new arrangements drawing on influences such as Claude Debussy, Bill Evans & John Coltrane. The album includes ten of Gershwin's most beloved compositions, including 'Summertime', 'I Got Rhythm' & 'Someone to Watch Over Me'. This builds on the success of Latchin's previous four records - 45 million streams to date - which have been met with critical acclaim worldwide: "this is a masterpiece that shows the true skill of his composition" - Jazz Japan. Latchin's piano style is firmly in the classical jazz piano genre of the likes of Oscar Peterson, George Shearing, Bill Evans or Benny Green; but its Gabriel's own voicing & touch that makes his sound a bit unique! This promises to be a delightful evening of memorable tunes that almost everyone knows, performed by some of the UK's best musicians. It will appeal to both Jazz and Classical lovers alike, perfect for a summers day "For my money, London-born Gabriel Latchin is the best straight-ahead jazz pianist to appear in the past few years..." The Guardian "Flawless." London Jazz News "I appreciate musicians that understand that simply being the very best musician you can possibly be is what's most important.. Gabriel is an excellent musician and one hell of a nice guy." US Bassist Christian McBride
