There’s a strong programme of contemporary jazz and crossover artists lining-up for the From the Source festival at Warwick Arts Centre from 26 October – Wednesday 3 November
Produced by Serious names include dynamic Indo-jazz fusion drummer Sarathy Korwar (29 Oct) and MOBO-nominated saxophonist Camilla George and her talent-packed band (31 Oct) alongside two acclaimed Birmingham-based artists in the form of award-winning spoken word poet Jasmine Gardosi (26 and 27 Oct) and soulful rapper Kofi Stone (30 Sept) plus a rare live-show from legendary Massive Attack collaborator, rapper/producer and trip-hop pioneer Tricky (3 Nov).
Doreen Foster, Director of Warwick Arts Centre, says “From The Source celebrates jazz as an inspirational art form. This year’s lineup features artists who grew up listening to the likes of John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Jackie McLean and Ahmad Jamal, and used these early experiences to forge very different musical paths. Although each artist has their own unique sound and perspective, the echoes of jazz shine through. We can’t wait to bring artists and audiences together this October to share the many music styles and influences which inspire us all.”
