In the casita….
Celebrate A Night of Blue Note with QCBA, the explosive sax & trumpet duo Brandon Allen & Quentin Collins, who have been wowing audiences globally for over 20 years now, performing at venues such at Ronnie Scott's, Ducs des Lombards and Monterey Jazz Festival.
For this Blue Note special they promise to deliver a high energy homage to some of the best known artists from the legendary record label's golden period during 1960's. Expect to hear classic tunes by Art Blakey, Jimmy Smith, Donald Byrd & Herbie Hancock.
Backed by their powerhouse rhythm team of Hammond Organ titan Ross Stanley & drumming legend Ian Thomas, and performing evergreen classics such as Lee Morgan's 'The Sidewinder' and Herbie Hancock's 'Canteloupe Island', this group will exhilarate and enthral in equal measure.
On the lawn….
Renowned DJ Mike Vitti brings Saturday Night's Funky Nation from Ronnie's Bar (upstairs at Ronnie Scott's) to Iford again. Playing from the Summer House you can enjoy modern jazz classics during your picnic, then dance the night away later on the lawn.
