Event Details
Session A9, Sultans of String and The Quebe Sisters Band
Glasgow Royal Concert Hall : Main Auditorium
Please Note: This is a past event.
The seasoned strength and sumptuous ensemble finesse of Session A9’s current line-up – fiddlers Charlie McKerron, Adam Sutherland, Gordon Gunn (also on mandolin) and Kevin Henderson, with pianist Brian McAlpine, guitarist/singer Marc Clement and percussionist David Robertson – was buoyantly evident on 2010’s critically-acclaimed live album One for the Road, since when extensive touring has enriched their sound and reputation yet further.
Self-styled purveyors of “atomic world-jazz flamenco”, Sultans of String are one of Canada’s hottest new musical exports, dynamically embodying their homeland’s values of tolerance and respect for diverse cultures. Centred on the founding interplay between Chris McKhool – a six-string violinist of Lebanese/Egyptian descent – and Kevin Laliberté’s rumba-accented guitar, they weave a gorgeously-hued tapestry of Spanish, Arabic, Latin, French and gypsy strands.
Completing this sizzling fiddle-esque triple bill are rising Western Swing stars The Quebe Sisters Band, featuring the three siblings on fiddles and exquisitely arrayed harmonies, also spanning styles from bluegrass to jazz.
