A performance by the David Langley Trio taking place at
The Jazzy Rainbow on February 24 is part of the Concerts SA Venue Circuit which
aims to foster a love and support for live music in South African communities,
as well as anchor small and medium sized venues in urban and rural Gauteng,
KwaZulu-Natal, and the Western Cape.
Durban’s jazz lounge, The Jazzy Rainbow, in
association with Concerts SA, launched its first straight jazz programme on the
eve of Heritage Day in September 2016 and continues to follow up with the same
concept. “#JazzyStraightAhead is about introducing regular, live, straight jazz
concerts to our city in order to help keep the music alive,” says Oliver-Rene
Haas.
David Langley is a Bprac Hons. Graduate from
Durban, KZN, who has been performing in and around town for the last 10 years.
He started out with his first band The Nu Savoys alongside the founder Russell
Simon. Langley moved to Dubai and performed there for several months. He also
performed for Reverend Jesse Jackson, Jacob Zuma, Sheik Mohamed of Qatar and
the South African Ambassador of Qatar for the heads of Mitsubishi Motors, as
well as on many more official occasions.
Langley has written his own book titled Piano Tailor, a 55 page course guideline
on the modern piano style. At this time he has also recorded his first album -
a compilation of original music from young and today that has influenced him as
a musician over the years. The band comprises Riley Giandhari (drums) and Mark
Momple (bass) as the core band members and is supported by Kerry Lee
Cherry-Langley on vocals when performing in a complete set up. The trio is
primarily focused on the re-rhythmic approach to music by creating different
styles and overlapping genre’s promising the most exciting experience.
