Mike Gibbs & Issie Barratt with the Cambridge Univ. Jazz Orch.

16 March 2009, 19:00

Jazz legend Mike Gibbs and rising star Issie Barratt lead the Cambridge University Jazz Orchestra in a dazzling evening of musical adventures, featuring the original music of both guest composers.

Mike Gibbs, composer, arranger and trombonist, has worked with many musical luminaries including Pat Metheny, John McLaughlin, Joni Mitchell and Peter Gabriel. In 2004, Birmingham Conservatoire conferred on him an Honorary Fellowship.

Issie Barratt is an internationally-active composer, conductor and baritone player, who has performed at leading concert halls, jazz clubs and festivals in Britain, Sweden, Switzerland and along the east coast of Canada. She is the founder of Fuzzy Moon Music and Fuzzy Moon Records and is director of the National Youth Jazz Collective.

CUJO's musical staple is progressive, modern jazz and its stylistic niche explores the possibilities of exactly what a jazz orchestra can be. Innovative musical vision combined with the talents of some of the country's rising jazz stars has resulted in a vibrant musical unit that is beginning to send musical shockwaves far further than the confines of one of the world's oldest universities. CUJO is kindly sponsored by Clearsilver.

The gig will be preceded by a foyer performance given by current members of the National Youth Jazz Collective from 7pm onwards.

Recital Hall
