MUSIC crossing the Strait of Gibraltar into Africa and beyond is coming to a village hall near you.
Internationally-acclaimed jazz bassist and composer Alec Dankworth is bringing Alec Dankworth’s World Spirit to Melbury Osmond, Sturminster Newton, Portesham and Studland.
From a long-standing love of music from the Iberian peninsula, Alec formed World Spirit.
It is made up of Alec on bass guitar, Emily Dankworth on vocals, Brandon Allen on saxophone and Paul Clarvis on percussion.
Alec, son of jazz legends Johnny Dankworth and Cleo Laine, has worked with artists as diverse as Stephane Grappelli, Abdullah Ibrahim and Van Morrison.
Now, joining forces with his daughter Emily Dankworth, leading tenor saxophonist Brandon Allen and world percussionist Paul Clarvis, Alec Dankworth’s World Spirit explore melodies from Africa, South America and other continents from a jazz perspective in this special tour as part of Artsreach’s 25th year of touring professional performers to rural venues in Dorset.
