A gig held at St George's Bristol on Wednesday 16th April. The event starts at 19:30.
Laura Jurd joins the Adam Stokes trio in paying tribute to swing era greats Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn.
Composer-performer Laura Jurd’s unique voice as an improvising trumpet player is at the heart of everything she creates. Her music celebrates and innovates the rich traditions of jazz and folk music, digging into something primal and earthy, whilst taking twists and turns that prove Laura to be one of the UK’s most distinctive composer-performers in contemporary music.
“Jurd seems unconcerned by transient fashions or enrolment in any kind of scene, and pursues a private muse that draws on jazz, folk traditions from Europe and the Middle East, and the harmonic language of Stravinsky – yet her work is always spiritedly accessible, and often suggests wordless songs” John Fordham, The Guardian.
