This Friday, 15 February, Turner Sims are pleased to present an exclusive jazz double bill in celebration of leading label, Edition Records’ fifth birthday.
Trumpeter Neil Yates leads his Five Countries ensemble, whose innovative Celtic-jazz fusions are embodied in this intimate but powerful trio. With a Romanian guitarist and an Irish percussionist, Five Countries features a set of compositions that crosses national and musical boundaries with consummate ease and confidence.
Top jazz pianist, Ivo Neame’s recent album, Yatra, was released to huge critical acclaim and described by BBC Music, as an album that ‘burns with an extremely organised energy, and seethes with cerebral passion. It marks Neame’s ascent to a stratospheric level as composer, arranger and bandleader’. Expect superb skill and high energy as Neame displays his expert command of small ensemble composition and improvisation with a line-up that includes some of the UKs finest jazz musicians.
Ticket includes free Edition Records CD by one of the featured artists.
