About this event
Doors 7:45 PM, Music 8:30 PM - 2 sets of music Line-up: Eddie Parker - Flute, Keyboards Rob Luft - Guitar Dave Manington - Double bass Jay Davis - Drum kit About: Airborn is the new project led by flutist, multi-instrumentalist and composer Eddie Parker. A founder member of the acclaimed British jazz orchestra Loose Tubes, Parker’s early career led him to collaborate with many future musical luminaries including Django Bates, John Parricelli, Iain Ballamy and many more. Many will know Eddie's work in the 1990s with South African piano genius Bheki Mseleku. Eddie is also a regular member of the Will Gregory Moog Ensemble. More recently, his Debussy Mirrored Ensemble have gained much positive attention for their unique compositions and performances. Speaking about his fellow musicians in Airborn, Eddie Parker says: “They teach me something new whenever I play with them and interact with them. And Rob? I run out of superlatives! He's not just technically accomplished (although it's jaw-dropping) – his soundworld is not just a world, it's a whole solar system - and he's not afraid to explore new places in the music and expand his horizons as well.”
