5th July 2016: Trumpeter Andre Canniere to release ‘The Darkening Blue’ this Autumn ft. Tori Freestone, Ivo Neame, Michael Janisch, Ted Poor and Brigitte Beraha.
“One of the most compelling artists on the current London jazz scene”
The Scotsman
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.
