Andy Sheppard Trio + Norma Winstone and Kit Downes

Andy Sheppard Trio + Norma Winstone and Kit Downes sobe ao palco a 18 de novembro de 2026, Cadogan Hall, em London.

A double bill show from the Andy Sheppard Trio and Normal Winstone & Kit Downes The Andy Sheppard Trio marks an unprecedented encounter between master saxophonist Andy Sheppard, Italian jazz icon pianist Rita Marcotulli, and one of the most prominent bassists on the European circuit, French bassist Michel Benita. Three highly individual musicians, each of whom has played a significant role in shaping what we now recognise as the sound of European jazz. In this new trio, Sheppard has the opportunity to develop an entire programme of new compositions, taking a spirited and fresh approach to his writing for the project — honouring jazz tradition while allowing space for interpretation through the unique voices within the trio. One of Britain's finest and most versatile vocal talents and lyricists, Norma Winstone became a notable figure on the British jazz scene during the sixties when she shared the bill at Ronnie Scott’s with Roland Kirk. Since, she has regularly collaborated with the likes of Steve Swallow, Kenny Wheeler, and Dave Holland amongst others, and became known for evolving her own wordless approach to improvisation. Together with pianist Kit Downes, Norma will bring her poetic sensibilities to new pieces by Downes as well as compositions by Carla Bley, Ralph Towner, and John Taylor, alongside fresh perspectives on two traditional tunes, ‘Black Is The Colour’ and ‘Rowing Home’.
