TOM BARFORD: LIVE AT THE PARAKEET | A Stellar Night of Electric and Virtuoso Jazz!
Get ready for an unforgettable night of modern jazz. Tom Barford, winner of the prestigious 2017 Kenny Wheeler Prize and an Edition Records artist, brings to the stage the experience of his acclaimed new album, Live at the Parakeet!
Described by Jazzwise (4* Review!) as a performance where “joy and musicality intertwine” and which “dazzles and delights”, this is not just a concert: it is a truly exciting live experience that you will feel from the first bar.
Barford’s music is a journey of the most eclectic: from virtuoso playing at fast tempos and compositions inspired by giants like Wayne Shorter, to delicious adaptations of Joe Henderson classics (like “Inner Urge”).
Witness this compact ensemble—a “well-oiled rhythm machine”—moving between complex forms and splendidly rhapsodic solo spaces. This is the sound of a band having “the best time” and being cheered on by a raving audience.
Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the magic firsthand!
