An Anglo-French project entitled Shakespeare Songs that combines the talents of three leading contemporary jazz voices, weaving their magic around a series of musical portraits of characters from Shakespeare’s plays and poems marking the 400th anniversary of the death of Shakespeare. The music draws inspiration from Renaissance composers Thomas Morley and William Byrd, giving great importance to colour, melody, dynamics and, most of all, to space and silence.

The project was developed and composed by the French pianist Guillaume de Chassy and drummer Christophe Marguet, the pair of French artists invited Andy Sheppard, whom they call ‘the great English poet of the saxophone’, to join them in their musical exploration of Shakespeare’s world.

The album of the same name released at the end of 2015 sees the trio joined by very special guest Kristin Scott Thomas reading the text.

Shakespeare Songs had a very unique UK premier, prior to the album release, at The Globe in the wonderful Sam Wanamaker Playhouse as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival. A candlelit sold out concert which was received with a standing ovation and with the following review in The Guardian “French pianist Guillaume de Chassy’s witty, dramatic and improv-inviting music steered a completely enticing jazz-meets-Shakespeare show amid the flickering candles at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, with saxophonist Andy Sheppard evoking caresses and murder, drummer Christophe Marguet mimicking the rustling advance of Birnam Wood, and Emma Pallant a stirring narrator.”
