Birmingham Jazz - Friends

Another band needing no introduction to Birmingham Jazz audiences. They will reproduce their BJ Commission celebrating poet Langston Hughes. The most celebrated Black poet was the late Langston Hughes, who had a love of music and jazz in particular. His poems have many references to the music and a certain cadence suitable for performance. For this gig Ralf brings his band of friends to the 1000 Trades to perform something new for you, with Kirk singing/reciting some of Hughes words.
Line Up: Ralf DeCambre - guitar, Kirk Richards- voice, Andy Gayle – Sax, Mathieu Keys– piano, Ray Brown – bass & Wayne Scott - drums
