Jazz On The Island - JAMES MORRISON QUARTET + guests

About
No matter how familiar you may be with James Morrison, you haven’t heard him play until you’ve heard him with this group. It is a testament to their energy and sheer brilliance that James says his favourite way to play is with his quartet – this coming from a man who has played with many of the greats of jazz, including Quincy Jones, Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Ray Brown, Wynton Marsalis & many more.What makes the quartet so special is the joy they create when they perform. James says, “This is what can happen when you have four musicians who all have a will to swing & are of one mind when it comes to the reason they play”.
With his three colleagues covering guitar, bass and drums, James plays anything from trombone, flugel horn & saxophones to piano, & of course the trumpet.
For this special mini festival weekend of Jazz, opening for James & his band will be gyspy jazz ensemble Dangar Reinhardt & also a short set from The Jazz Donkeys (island kids aged between 9 and 13).
