Andre Canniere at The Drawing Room

About

American trumpeter and composer Andre Canniere spent his early career in NYC working with Maria Schneider, Ingrid Jensen and Donny McCaslin among many others. Currently based in London, his two releases on Whirlwind Recordings have received widespread critical acclaim, and tonight he presents music from his 5* reviewed album, Coalescence.

"One of the most compelling artists on the current London jazz scene" (The Scotsman)

"Audaciously crafted works that sound like hymns with hip-hop drums beneath and fluttering, warmly Iberian trumpet lines within; solemn rhythm-puzzles of quizzical melodies above snappy bass-hooks and backbeats; mournful, precisely intoned trumpet ballads; and percussively punchy, melodically startling themes" (The Guardian)
