Event 40
Tommaso Starace
– Pembertons Stage, Christ College
Following a sold-out performance at the Blue Note, Milano alto saxophonist Tommaso Starace visits Brecon Jazz with an exciting new line-up, promoting his latest album Tommaso Starace Quartet – Blood & Champagne. Inspired by musicians such as Maurice Ravel and Cannonball Adderley to Ennio Morricone, Joshua Redman and Stevie Wonder, Starace is always exploring and pushing the boundaries of his own writing, trying to create different moods by combining traditional and more contemporary harmony and focusing on a strong use of melody and groove with the additional use of odd time signatures.
