Doors 7:15 PM, Music 8:00 PM - 1 set of music About: Mercury Prize-shortlisted pianist Fergus McCreadie returns to the Vortex for a very special solo show, exploring improvisation across jazz and classical styles through the music of Brahms. Fergus will perform Brahms’ Op. 10 Ballades, and take them as the musical DNA of his own improvisations around them. In the first performance of this kind, this promises to be a unique show, not to be missed. Fergus McCreadie With a unique blend of Jazz and Scottish folk that evokes his country’s sublime landscapes, Fergus McCreadie has developed a truly distinct voice in piano writing that is capturing the hearts and minds of audiences worldwide. Released to instant critical acclaim, Fergus’s 2022 album ‘Forest Floor’ (Edition Records) catapulted him into the international spotlight. The album topped the UK Jazz & Blues charts, prompted sold-out performances across the UK, praise from BBC 6Music, The Times, NME and earned him a 2022 Mercury Prize shortlist nomination, the 2022 Jazz FM Instrumentalist of the Year Award as well as the 2022 Scottish Album of the Year Award - the first jazz artist ever to be awarded the prize.
