Orphy Robinson & Pat Thomas
Thursday 12th June 2014
Orphy Robinson is one of the most exciting and in-demand improvisers around - his recent forays with Blacktop on the London scene as well as his touring with Nigel Kennedy are testimony to his range of vision and technique on marimba and vibes. He has been at the forefront of British jazz since 1985 when he came to the attention of the jazz world in the Jazz Warriors - the seminal big band that featured so many of the great players of the current era, Courtney Pine, Steve Williamson, Julian Joseph and Mark Mondesir to name a few.
Pat Thomas is regarded across Europe as one of the most distinctive voices in jazz and improvised music. He has worked with some of the greats in contemporary improvisation, Tony Oxley, Evan Parker, Steve Williamson among them.
An evening of freewheeling grooves, spectacular improvisations and more. Not to be missed.
