What's On / Edinburgh Jazz Festival Orchestra: Colin Steele

Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival presents

Edinburgh Jazz Festival Orchestra: Colin Steele

7 August 2010 at 8:30pm
at The Queen's Hall

Directed by Colin Steele | Arrangements by Euan Stevenson

Trumpeter and Composer Colin Steele has been described as the Sibelius of Scotland. His music is a massive, joyous celebration of Scottish melody and rhythm, liberated and enhanced by the spirit, sophistication and technique of jazz. His recordings and concerts are warm, life affirming, and thrilling in their effect. He disarms the most hardened jazz fan with the power and beauty of his music and speaks strongly to audiences who say they don’t like jazz. Now he’s written new music for the largest force he’s ever commanded. For those who love his work with the Quintet and Stramash, you'll find this Orchestra music even more bewitching. For the uninitiated, what a pleasure lies in store!
