About this event
Doors 7:15 PM, Music 8:00 PM - 2 sets of music Line-up: Laura Jurd - Trumpet Ethan Johns - Guitar Elliot Galvin - fender rhodes Ruth Goller - Bass guitar Jeremy Stacey - Drum kit About Laura Jurd celebrates 100 years of Miles Davis One of the UK's most distinctive voices in jazz and improvised music, Mercury-nominated Laura Jurd's unique approach to the trumpet is celebrated in the work that she creates. A life-long, avid fan of 20th century icon, Miles Davis, this special concert sees Laura leaning in to the energy of Miles' later periods, 100 years on from his birth. Re-imagining repertoire from across Miles' career, expect rock-tinged, groove music that goes beyond a tribute and takes the spirit of Miles Davis to new and uncharted territory. In true "Milesian" fashion, Laura brings together a star-studded cohort of some of the most revered music-makers in their respective fields - an unmissable night of music, paying homage to one of the greatest to ever do it. "The kind of musician I want to be in my next life" - Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2
