Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival
Ambrose Akinmusire is one of the most exciting and striking figures on today’s jazz scene. “A thrilling young trumpeter with a unique spark” (The New Yorker). His band’s music is a “dramatically paced, surprise-packed, and sometimes intense fusion of cliche-free solo exploits and collective improvising – an experience that was unmistakably American jazz, but which didn’t clone anything or anyone” (The Guardian). Zanisi is a new shooting star of European jazz, a pianist of extraordinary delicacy, combined with EST-like power.
