Manchester Jazz Festival Highlights
Ferg's Imaginary Big Band, Nick Walters and Ni Maxine, live at Manchester Jazz Festival. Plus, leading UK drummer Seb Rochford shares his inspirations.
Kevin Le Gendre presents concert highlights from this year's Manchester Jazz Festival recorded live for J to Z. Featuring music from Manchester trumpeter Nick Walters, vocalist on the rise Ni Maxine from Liverpool, and riotous Leeds ensemble Ferg's Imaginary Big Band, led by bassist and composer Fergus Quill.聽
Also in the programme, we hear from innovative drummer Seb Rochford. A key player on the UK scene, Seb is known for founding the band Polar Bear as well as his work with Sons of Kemet, Pulled By Magnets and most recently for his collaboration with Kit Downes on a moving project titled 'A Short Diary Of Loss'. Here he shares some of the music that has inspired him, including a track by jazz great Thelonious Monk that shows off his lyrical mastery.聽
