Scotland’s finest young jazz musicians are joined by sensational jazz guitarist Mike Walker in a full performance of his powerful debut album Madhouse and the Whole Thing There.
A unique opportunity to experience the exceptional live talent of Mike Walker and enjoy new arrangements of all of the pieces featured on his critically acclaimed album, which was described by The Guardian as ‘a soaringly confident piece of idiosyncratic contemporary fusion.’
“Mike Walker is one of the most powerful jazz guitarists in Europe...” (The Guardian)
“...seldom can there have been a more impressive debut in British Jazz than this. Walker has an imagination of enormous sweep but also the skill and taste to realise his vision.” (Jazzwise Magazine)
