Legendary jazzman in Exeter

This Saturday, 21st November, there will be a rare chance to spend an informal afternoon with Mike Westbrook, musician and Britain’s foremost avant garde jazz composer.

Mike has been composing, performing and directing internationally for many years.  He has produced more than 40 albums, and written for television, theatre and a huge range of other projects, many with his wife, singer, songwriter and artist, Kate Westbrook.

At this event, presented by the Devonshire Association Music Section, Mike, with Kate, will be talking about his work, using recordings with films and slides, and particularly about compositions inspired by Devon: ‘Erme Estuary’, ‘Tamar River’, ‘Paradise Shuffle’ and ‘Chanson Irresponsable’.

The event takes place at the Exeter Community Centre, 17 St. David’s Hill, Exeter, starting at 2.30pm. 

Admission is £8, or £5 for NUS or Devonshire Association members (proof required).
