This Friday night, Soweto presents concert highlights from gifted Glasgow based saxophonist Matt Carmichael and Grammy-award winning German public broadcast ensemble, the WDR Big Band. Matt has shared three albums to date, and his most recent record titled 鈥渄ancing with embers鈥� was released earlier this year.
The musicians came together back in April at RWTH Aachen University, for a performance titled 鈥淪cottish Jazz Fantasies鈥�. They showcased some of Matt's compositions, specially arranged for the WDR Big Band by their chief conductor, American saxophonist and member of the fusion band 鈥淵ellow Jackets鈥�, Bob Mintzer. Expect music that blends influences of the Scottish Highlands and jazz, with a vast big band sound.
To listen on most smart speakers, just say: 'Ask 麻豆社 Sounds to play Round Midnight.'
