Progressive Circus, KPM Concerts and Cheznousprod are happy to present
PETE ROTH TRIO featuring Bill Bruford
...at Hotel Cecil, Copenhagen Feb 8 (unnumbered seats)
The Pete Roth Trio features leader Pete on guitar, Mike Pratt on bass, and the incomparable Bill Bruford on drums. The band creates jazz for a new generation of music enthusiasts, exploring beyond traditional jazz conventions. A jazz standard might reveal its essence only in the final moments of performance.
Roth’s original compositions, such as “Dancing with Grace,” the Trio’s collaborative works like “Trio in Five” and “Looking Forward to Looking Back,” or their reinterpretation of masterworks like Anton Dvorak’s “Largo from Symphony #9,” offer just a few gateways into the creative world of the Pete Roth Trio—a world that will likely reshape your perspective on what the guitar trio format can achieve.
Pete is a versatile artist and accomplished session guitarist, set to weave intricate melodies and rhythms, crafting imaginative jazz compositions that resonate with a new generation of music enthusiasts. Mike is a double bass and bass guitar player, composer and producer, having taught bass and composition at Kingston University, composed music for Ford and the FIA, and is musical director for the live theatre rockumentary Seven Decades.
While Bill Bruford is an icon in prog rock history, drumming for Yes, King Crimson, U.K., Genesis, Gong, Brand X and ABWH, he also has impeccable jazz credentials, having recorded, performed with or written music for Al Di Meola, the Buddy Rich Orchestra, David Torn, Allan Holdsworth, Tim Garland, Django Bates, Iain Ballamy and Chris Botti among others. He was voted into Modern Drummer magazine’s Hall of Fame (1990), named by Rolling Stone magazine as #16 Greatest Drummer of All Time (2016) and inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of ‘Yes’ (2017).
