Thu 24th July 2008
SOLD OUT - Returns Only!
It's almost two decades since Courtney Pine journeyed to the urge within and released a shock-and-awe debut album that put contemporary jazz in the British Top 40 album charts for the first time. His music has come to define the living and breathing sound of contemporary UK jazz, bringing together jazz, reggae, hip hop and drum and bass influences in a totally inclusive way.
This multi-award-winning artist and broadcaster has brought his sound to audiences of different tastes and different cultures across the World and Westival is delighted to be bringing him to Taunton. Expect to hear first airings of new album material and gems from his current Resistance set.
