5th October 2016: Andre Canniere’s ‘The Darkening Blue’ reaches No.1 on Europe jazz media chart. Release day Friday Oct 14
Released this Friday, trumpeter and composer Andre Canniere’s third Whirlwind album 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 features Tori Freestone – sax, Ivo Neame – piano, Michael Janisch – double and electric bass, Ted Poor – drums and guest vocalist Brigitte Beraha.
The Darkening Blue is currently no.1 in the Europe Jazz Media chart and no. 5 in Chris Philips’ JazzFM chart and will be launching at Pizza Express Jazz Club, Soho on October 10th. Go here for full tour details.
