TOM BARFORD: LIVE AT THE PARAKEET | A stellar night of electric, virtuosic jazz! Prepare for an unforgettable evening of modern jazz. Tom Barford, winner of the prestigious 2017 Kenny Wheeler Prize and an Edition Records artist, brings the experience of his acclaimed new album Live at the Parakeet to the stage. Described by Jazzwise in a four-star review as a performance where “joy and musicianship intertwine” and which “dazzles and delights”, this is not just a concert: it is a truly exciting live experience you will feel from the first bar. Barford's music is an eclectic journey: from virtuosic playing at fast tempos and compositions inspired by giants such as Wayne Shorter to tasty adaptations of Joe Henderson classics such as "Inner Urge". Witness this tight ensemble —a “well-oiled rhythmic machine”— moving between complex forms and splendidly rhapsodic solo spaces. This is the sound of a band clearly having a great time, spurred on by an ecstatic audience. Do not miss the chance to experience the magic first-hand! Tom Barford, tenor saxophone · James Copus, trumpet · Ivo Neame, piano · Tim Giles, drums · Oli Hayhurst, double bass.
