Norwich Jazz Club are excited to kick off their 2025 programme at Yalm with Sam Miles and Vij Prakash leading the band in a cover-to-cover performance of Blue Train; John Coltrane’s seminal 1958 album for Blue Note records (re-arranged here for quintet). In the second part of the evening the band performs original tracks by Sam and Vij that were inspired by the album.
Former students at the Royal Academy of Music and The Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Sam Miles and Vij Prakash are both based in Cambridge and collaborate on a variety of musical projects alongside their busy careers in performing and tutoring.
