Jeremy Lubbock

about

A gifted and largely self-taught pianist, Lubbock displayed an extraordinary gift for music in early childhood. He gained his first exposure to music at age three, when his father, a fine classical musician himself, began ear-training exercises for his son that soon developed into a wide appreciation of and a consuming passion for musical exploration and composition. Although the first sixteen years of his musical life was devoted almost entirely to classical music, in his late teens he discovered jazz and the great American song writers. He launched his professional career as a pianist and vocalist performing in such venues as Les Ambassadeurs Club in London and The Blue Note in Paris while working his way through school at Oxford University and the London Architectural Association. ( At one stage it was uncertain whether his profession would be architecture or music ). In 1953, an agent landed Lubbock a single recording deal to sing "Catch a Falling Star", produced by Beatles producer George Martin. The song served to help Lubbock "get his foot in the door". In the 50's and 60's, he traveled throughout the world playing clubs, soaking up various musical influences and honing his skills, in particular his talent for arranging. By the early 70's, Lubbock's flair for arranging landed him freelance work for the two major television companies in London - the BBC and ITV. In this capacity, he utilized his classical background while working with big band and radio orchestras. But
