J-Night celebrates International Jazz Day with Panjumby and Refix Project
Join us as we bring International Jazz Day celebrations to Hull for the second time. A UNESCO global celebration of jazz and its role in uniting different cultures, International Jazz Day sees over 800 events take place in over 190 countries.
We'll be celebrating at Hull Truck Theatre with Panjumby, led by Trinidadian Calypsonian and steel pan maestro Dudley Nesbitt. With a stellar line up featuring Dudley Nesbitt (steel pans, percussion), Richard Ormrod (saxophones, clarinet, flute), Barkley McKay (keyboards, guitar), Kenneth Higgins (electric bass) and Sam Hobbs (drums), Panjumby blend Calypso, Soca and jazz in an uplifting fusion of British Jazz and Caribbean rhythms.
Supporting Panjumby, we're delighted to present the first performance from Lyn Acton and Audrey Okyere-Fosu's exciting new collaboration The Refix Project.Lyn and Audrey will explore the duality of their distinct voices in a collection of newly composed songs that express themes of love, loss, identity and freedom. The Refix Project is also an exciting musical collaboration with producer Endoflevelbaddie and composer David Gawthorpe.
This is music to bring people together and lift the spirits.
