Masterclass piano playing melds with sparkling inventiveness and genre-defying wit as Cunliffe moves effortlessly from a tribute to Duke Ellington classics, to time-travelling through classical eras up to the 21st century as JS Bach, before retracing his steps through the jazz ages to the boogie-woogie. And for the grand finale, the audience inspire Cunliffe with their favourite pop, jazz and classical requests, as he improvises an original composition on the spot.
