Hi all, I will be racing around the UK next week doing 3 performances. For the first and last shows I will be directing the Nu Civilisation Orchestra as part of our Jazz Ticket tour celebrating the 100th birthday of six jazz greats - Ella Fitzgerald, Thelonius Monk, Tadd Dameron, Buddy Rich, Dizzy Gillespie and Mongo Santamaria. If you are in the Brighton or Hull area do come along. It's a wonderful evening of music which includes some talented young musicians from the local area in the first half. You'all also get another chance to her my commissioned piece 'Journey with the Giants of Jazz' which was recorded for BBC Radio 2 in the summer as part of the Hull city of culture 2017 festival .
In between the jazz ticket dates I will be performing with Zara McFarlane's band. After a few days away on tour in Europe the band is sounding tight and the new music is really being well received. This is a rare chance to hear Zara's 10 piece band that recently broadcast on 'BBC 2's Later..with Jools'.
I hope you can make it to one of the shows. Click on the images for more information.
