About

TOM BARFORD: LIVE AT THE PARAKEET | A Stellar Night of Electric and Virtuoso Jazz! Get ready for an unforgettable night of modern jazz. Tom Barford , winner of the prestigious 2017 Kenny Wheeler Prize and an Edition Records artist, brings to the stage the experience of his acclaimed new album, Live at the Parakeet ! Described by Jazzwise (4* Review!) as a performance where “joy and musicality intertwine” and which “dazzles and delights”, this is not just a concert: it is a truly exciting live experience that you will feel from the first bar. Barford’s music is a journey of the most eclectic : from virtuoso playing at fast tempos and compositions inspired by giants like Wayne Shorter, to delicious adaptations of Joe Henderson classics (like “Inner Urge”). Witness this compact ensemble—a “well-oiled rhythm machine”—moving between complex forms and splendidly rhapsodic solo spaces. This is the sound of a band having “the best time” and being cheered on by a raving audience. Don’t miss the opportunity to experience the magic firsthand!
