Stuart McCallum City Quartet at Jazz At The Lescar at Jazz At The Lescar

Stuart McCallum is still coming (yeah!!!!!), but instead of Mike Walker, as previously advertised, its a really great band, playing the music from Stuart's brilliant new album 'City', just released to wide acclaim on Naim records.
On drums we're really pleased to welcome the incredible Richard Spaven (José James, Flying Lotus, The Cinematic Orchestra, Guru's Jazzmatazz, Gregory Porter). Richard's debut release featured in 'Grand Theft Auto V', and his most recent release featured Blue Note trumpeter Takuya Kuroda, as well as Stuart McCallum.
"Mr.Spaven does it again – much more than just rhythm with this man" Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio)....

"Mr.Spaven does it again – much more than just rhythm with this man" Gilles Peterson (BBC Radio).
"Richard Spaven is one of the most unique artists in the world. Triple threat drummer, composer, and producer, his voice rings true with clarity and promise. He is the point where jazz meets the world" José James (Blue Note Records).
On keyboards we have John Ellis, a wonderful musician, who's recorded with the likes of Tom Jones, Corinne Bailey Rae, Lily Allen, John Squire (Stone Roses) and others as well as being a founder member of The Cinematic Orchestra, contributing heavily to the albums "Everyday" and "Man With The Movie Camera".
Finally, we welcome Dija Bhlue, a rising star neo-soul vocalist influenced by the likes of Erykah Badu and Jill Scott.
Their music is soulful and beautiful; a nocturnal sound reminiscent of the Cinematic Orchestra and Massive Attack, as well as more than a hint of the ECM aesthetic.
