The acclaimed Academy Jazz Department is proud to collaborate once again with Spice Jazz Soho and the EFG London Jazz Festival to celebrate 85 years of the iconic Blue Note Records.
Focussing on two of the frequently unsung jazz giants on the label, the Jazz Orchestra presents the big band sounds of Duke Pearson, led by the leading trombonist and bandleader Winston Rollins and the legendary percussionist and vibes player Orphy Robinson, one of the few UK artists to be on the label himself, will lead the Jazz Ensemble in his tribute to the great Bobby Hutcherson.
“It’s Blue Note Records’ 85th Anniversary Year. To mark the occasion, the Royal Academy Of Music Jazz Orchestra has teamed up with vibesman Orphy Robinson and trombonist Winston Rollins. Together they celebrate the music of two of Blue Note’s biggest stars, Bobby Hutcherson and Duke Pearson, so expect great playing from some of the future stars of jazz, on some favourite and familiar pieces.”
