About:
Rory Ingham brings together an all-star line-up to celebrate the music of jazz titans Freddie Hubbard and Wayne Shorter, via the legendary group led by Art Blakey: ‘The Jazz Messengers’. They will be showcasing the lesser-known sextet formation as exemplified by the stellar 1960s front-line of Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, and Curtis Fuller plus the powerhouse rhythm section of pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Reggie Workman and drummer Art Blakey. This project demonstrates hard bop with a frighteningly fresh feel; the music is wildly high-energy and unbelievably swinging. For this evening’s one-night-only concert at the Vortex, this intensely engaging ensemble will be featuring the masterful german trumpeter – Jakob Bänsch, alongside some of the finest talent in UK Jazz!
