Christmas message from Artistic Director Tony Dudley -Evans

 

 

 

For me the national tours that Birmingham Jazz sets up are always highlights of the year.  So this year we set up the tour with Dave Liebman playing with Phil Robson Trio in January, the tour that brought together Ken Vandermark, Mark Sanders and Barry Guy in November and the Charlie Dark African Beats tour in March.  It's great that there are already plans to have Liebman with Phil Robson Trio at Cheltenhem 2009 and for the Vandermark/Sanders/Guy trio to release an album and to play at international festivals.     
 
Other gigs I really keep thinking back to include the Robert Glasper Trio at Jam House in March, composer/drummerJohn Hollenbeck working with the Birmingham Conservatoire Jazz Orchestra in June, Django Bates with his Danish stoRMChaser Big Band in October and Partisans at Jazz Club @Rainbow, also in October.  But I also get particular pleasure from promoting top young British players such as John Escreet, Finn Peters and the double bill with Dan Nicholls and Alcyona Mick (both graduates from the Conservatoire jazz course) that we ended the year with.
 
A final positive thing has to be the continuing success of the Friday Rush Hour Blues session attended by around 300 people every week at Symphony Hall.  We have put on some great gigs there too.
