This autumn will see the release of trumpeter and composer Andre Canniere’s third Whirlwind album, following  Forward Space and Coalescence. The Darkening Blue is inspired by poems of Rainer Maria Rilke and Charles Bukowski and imaginatively combines the haunting and mystical elements of Rilke with the grit and boldness of Bukowski into a uniquely cohesive programme of music. The album will feature Tori Freestone – sax, Ivo Neame – piano, Michael Janisch – double and electric bass, Ted Poor – drums and guest vocalist Brigitte Beraha.
