"The Jazz House"

Radio Scotland welcomes one of Scotland’s most accomplished jazz singers, Stephen Duffy, as presenter of The Jazz House.The programme will showcase the burgeoning jazz talent and jazz scene covering the length and breadth of the country. Featuring exciting new young Scottish artists alongside established national and international names, The Jazz House features straight-ahead mainstream, folk, international and contemporary sounds, all of which make up the exciting melting pot of the Scottish jazz scene today.

The unmissable weekly feature ‘Jazz Bag’ demonstrates the core discipline of improvisation on the show as live artists are given a surprise item to look at and translate into a piece of music. Bill Wells will be the first musical guest to kick-start this feature.

Richard Michael, irrepressible jazz enthusiast and director of Fife Youth Jazz Orchestra presents a regular feature called ‘The Jargon-buster’ where he de-mystifies the many elements of jazz music on piano.

The Jazz House will also feature live guests discussing new releases and will also present artists recorded live in concert in Scotland. The first show which transmits on Wednesday April 5^th features Reggie Washington, Ravi Coltrane & Gene Lake recorded live at The Jazz Bar in Edinburgh, a world class trio which sets the standard for our future shows.

Stephen Duffy is a genuine improvising jazz singer who has built a significant Glasgow following due to consecutive sell-out performances at the Tron theatre and the Glasgow International Jazz festival.

He was one of the first students to participate in the Fiona Duncan Vocal Jazz Workshops, and is the only vocalist to have studied at the National Jazz Institute of Scotland, where he studied under sax star Tommy Smith.

His debut album I Wish I’d Met You , was released in November 2004 to much acclaim.

Stephen has also appeared with some of the great names in international jazz including saxophonist Scot Hamilton, singer Madeline Eastman and he counts British Jazz stars Claire Martin and Sir Richard Rodney Bennett amongst his ardent supporters.

Also an accomplished pianist and arranger, he has sung with most of the major Scottish Big Bands and with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra. In addition he has been a frequent contributor to BBC Radio Scotland, and has presented features on vocal jazz for BBC Radio 3.
