The band True Think is a multi-generational, multi-cultural reflection of several periods of Robert Mitchell’s journey. Pulling on jazz traditions from the deep South through to today’s European scene, hip hop and adding in a knowledge of modern classical back to Baroque.

The Marta Gornitzka Sextet will open the concert. A current student on the Guildhall Jazz course, Marta Gornitzka, international vocalist, here celebrates her Polish heritage presenting a set of music inspired by Polish poets, composers and songwriters of 20th century. Marta invited award winning saxophonist Tom Ridout (Royal Academy of Music graduate) to join her in adding a modern twist to Polish classics. Imaginative and deeply rooted in jazz, this performance will take you back to discover the history, culture and art of post-war Poland.
