SUMMARY:The Pete Roth Trio featuring Bill Bruford
DESCRIPTION:JazzTickets £19.50 / £18.50 concessions.Doors open 7pm\, starts 7.30pm.This gig is for a seated audience. \nThe Pete Roth Trio features leader Pete on guitar\, Mike Pratt on bass\, and the legendary Bill Bruford as a special guest on drums. \nThe band creates jazz for a new generation of music enthusiasts\, exploring beyond traditional jazz conventions. \nA jazz standard might reveal its essence only in the final moments of performance. Roth’s original compositions\, such as “Dancing with Grace\,” the Trio’s collaborative works like “Trio in Five” and “Looking Forward to Looking Back\,” or their reinterpretation of masterworks like Anton Dvorak’s “Largo from Symphony #9\,” offer just a few gateways into the creative world of the Pete Roth Trio—a world that will likely reshape your perspective on what the guitar trio format can achieve. \npeterothband.co.uk
