1959 was one of the greatest years for jazz

Bryan Corbett is widely regarded as one of the UK's finest working jazz musicians, featuring on sessions with the likes of Mica Paris, Siedah Garrett, Ben E King, Brand New Heavies, Jocelyn Brown, Beverley Knight and... Well that's a mere fraction of the names he works with when not piecing together his solo act or is busy curating Jazz events in cities around the world. It's a massive and unmissable opportunity then, to see Bryan play in Bearwood, Birmingham (adjacent) with a band of stellar musicians in on the act.

"We're going to celebrate the year 1959 in jazz," Bryan said. "That year saw the release of some of the most revered jazz albums, such as Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue', Mingus' 'Ah Hum', Ornette Coleman's 'The Shape of thing to come', also Horace Silver 'Blowing the blues away', amongst others from Dave Brubeck and Benny Gilson etc etc..."

Even people with a cursory interest in music would agree with Bryan that 1959 was one of the greatest years for jazz.

"We'll be picking some choice tracks from those big albums."

Bryan's line up includes Chris Bowden on Saxophone, Matt Ratcliffe - Piano, Carl Hemmingsley - Drums with bass player Tom Hill who is coincidentally the current voice of Tony the Tiger - (love this info so much!).

It's gonna be cooking and cool. Don't miss...

All About and Contributors

HELP OUTSIDELEFT

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]

WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT

If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
