Chaos Collective leading light drummer Corrie Dick, Glasgow bassists Brodie Jarvie and Mark Scobbie, teenage trumpeter Sean Gibbs from Edinburgh, and at 15 the youngest of the five, pianist Fergus McCreadie, have just been announced as the finalists in this year’s Young Scottish Jazz Musician competition. The five will perform at an event in Aberdeen on 31 July to decide the winner who will be presented with a trophy by Aileen Campbell, Scottish minister for children and young people, and Fiona Bayne from sponsors Shell. Now in its seventh year the final will be recorded live for BBC Radio Scotland’s Jazz House programme.
