John Burch (born John Alexander Burchell; 6 January 1932 – 18 April 2006) was an English pianist, composer and bandleader, equally at home playing traditional jazz, bebop, blues, skiffle, boogie-woogie and rock. Life and careerBurch was born in London on 6 January 1932.[1] Having started piano lessons at age 12, he played in army bands during his military service stationed in Germany and in the late 1950s toured military bases with his trio.[2] In 1959, he toured France with bassist Jeff Clyne and saxophonist Bobby Wellins.[2] In 1960 Burch joined Allan Ganley's Jazzmakers.[2] In the early and mid-1960s he led a quartet and an octet with Dick Heckstall-Smith, Ray Warleigh, Peter King, Hank Shaw and future Cream founders Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.[2] In the 1960s, Burch was one of many UK-based musicians who "moved easily between traditional jazz, bebop, blues, skiffle, boogie, and rock".[2] As an accompanist, he played with American musicians who were visiting the UK; in 1966 these included Freddie Hubbard, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and Red Rodney.[2] As a composer, he wrote "Preach and Teach" (1966) which provided the B-side of Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames' hit "Yeh Yeh" and was also recorded by Buddy Rich.[2] He composed Fame's follow-up, "In the Meantime", and also its B-side, "Telegram".[2] He was also a teacher on the Barry Summer School jazz-education project, which was attended by pianist Keith Tippett.[2] In 1984, he re-formed the octet with Dick Morrissey.[2] He dedicated his "Resurrection Ritual Suite" to Dick Morrissey and on his death had just completed a tribute to Ronnie Scott called "Just by Chance".[2] Burch died from cancer on 18 April 2006.[3] References1. ^{{cite book |last=Chilton |first=John |authorlink=John Chilton |title= Who's Who of British Jazz |year=2004 |edition=2nd |publisher=Continuum |isbn=978-0-8264-7234-2 |page=51 |ref=harv}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Burch, John}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.45cat.com/record/db7494 |title=Georgie Fame And The Blue Flames - In The Meantime / Telegram - Columbia - UK - DB 7494 |publisher=45cat |date=1965-02-20 |accessdate=2014-07-17}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 {{cite news |last=Fordham |first=John |date=18 May 2006 |title=John Burch |url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2006/may/18/guardianobituaries.johnfordham |work=The Guardian |location= |accessdate=}} 4 : English composers|English jazz musicians|2006 deaths|1932 births |
