Iain Ballamy: Fascinada at Turner Sims

About

A celebration of five Brazilian musical legends

Renowned saxophonist and ECM recording artist Iain Ballamy shares his lifelong fascination with the vibrant music of Brazil.

Fascinada (or Spellbound) features magical textural improvisations. Each one leads to an original composition created in the spirit of Ivan Lins, Milton Nascimento, Tom Jobim, Joao Bosco or Hermeto Pascoal.

Iain is joined by a stellar band. It features extraordinary BBC Young Generation Artist guitarist Rob Luft, long-time collaborator (including Quercus w. June Tabor) lyrical pianist Huw Warren, in-demand bassist Conor Chaplin ( Marius Nest, Emma Rawizc and Laura Jurd), and young percussion powerhouse Will Glaser.
