Jazz Bar Saturdays: Marco Sollazzo & Kevin Barrett [Oud Jazz]

Marco Sollazzo is an Italian composer and OUD player based in Edinburgh.

Originally from Naples, after his academic studies at the Conservatory of Parma (double bass, jazz and composition) he spent ten years in Türkiye dedicated to studying the oud and Turkish makam, both at the Ege Conservatory of Turkish Music in Izmir and through direct immersion in the tradition.

His work is rooted in Mediterranean modal music thinking, but it is not tied to any single tradition. Moving between composition and improvisation, his music features irregular rhythms and a fluid sense of space.
Also featuring acclaimed Canadian guitar player Kevin Barrett.
Kevin Barrett is a guitarist, producer, musical director, composer/arranger and teacher based in Toronto, Canada and Edinburgh, Scotland.
Kevin has been active as a freelance guitarist for more than 30 years. He works regularly as a band leader, side musician and musical director at festivals, clubs and concert venues across the country and internationally, while maintaining a regular presence on both the Edinburgh and Toronto scenes.
