Guitar and electronics Eivind Aarset
Double Bass Arild Andersen
Tabla and percussion Kuljit Bhamra
Support from the fantastic French group
Hadouk Trio
Led by renowned saxophonist Didier Malherbe, Hadouk Trio blend North African melodies with chiming kora and skittering dance jazz beats. Highlighted by Malherbe's driving, haunting saxophone and flute touches, the trio cook up a globe-trotting sun-baked sound.
Andy Sheppard and his starry international band play material from his critically-acclaimed ECM album Movements In Colour. Featuring tabla virtuoso and percussionist Kuljit Bhamra, the shimmering, other-worldly textures of guitarist and electronics artist Eivind Aarset, and legendary bassist Arild Andersen. The music for this line-up bears all of Sheppard's famed characteristics - melodic themes, inventive use of texture and an unerring sense of rhythm which sets the pace for world jazz at its unclassifiable best.
