• In 1956 the renowned classical piano virtuoso Friedrich Gulda was booked into a jazz club for the first time, leading a superb group put together by John Hammond on a two-week engagement at Birdland.

• Gulda had little time to pay his jazz dues but played in a fluent modern idiom, sensitive and respectful of the jazz language and eschewing the pyrotechnical technique for which he was acclaimed. There is no hint of the jazz/classical fusion fad of the time – just taste judgement and class.
