At Ronnie Scott's....

Wed 3rd – Thur 4th, Mar
THE GUY BARKER JAZZ ORCHESTRA PERFORM “DZF” featuring Rosario Giuliani & Byron Wallen, narrated by Michael Brandon.
Performing pieces from ‘The Amadeus Project’ - ‘dZf’. An original composition for BBC Radio 3 and the Mainly Mozart Festival, California, DZf is a 75-minute suite written by Guy Barker for the 14-piece Jazz Orchestra - it tells a revamped and modernised version of the story of The Magic Flute, Mozart’s final opera. Highly recommended, a rare opportunity to hear this unique composition.

Sun 7th, Mar
FUNK AFFAIR with special guest Omar
Ever since his first release “There’s nothing like this” in 1992, Omar has garnered legions of loyal fans, including a certain Stevie Wonder. That the was able to call upon the services of the great Stevie not to mention Angie Stone and Estelle on his 2007 album “Sing (if you want it)” shows the caliber and respect that he continues to command on the UK soul and funk scene.
