Britten
Sinfonia, renowned for its bold approach to music-making, pays homage
to two of the musical giants of the 20th century: Gil Evans and Miles
Davis. Legendary American pianist and band leader Gil Goldstein,
who worked closely with both jazz legends in the 1980s, brings his own
tribute, featuring classics from Sketches of Spain and Miles
Ahead, while the rich textures of Britten Sinfonia's strings, woodwind
and brass recreate this most evocative of repertoire.
The concert
also has a pronounced Brazilian flavour - echoing another of Goldstein's
musical fascinations - in the form of guitarist Romero Lubambo, ex-Weather
Report drummer Alex Acuña and Luciana Souza, one of Brazil's most
celebrated vocalists, whose brilliantly elastic voice gives a stunning
interpretation of the distinctive Miles Davis sound.
Part
of the London Jazz Festival in association with BBC Radio 3. This
concert is being recorded for future broadcast.
