The piece is a kaleidoscopic trippy montage of images, sounds and live and processed piano in eight movements. The last movement gives an example of how repurposing industrial and urban sites can provide hope for the future and demonstrates how beautiful things can grow from the desolation of our industrial heritage.\u00a0<\/p> Phil Taylor’s website<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Top Leeds jazzers mixing it with Kwa Zulu song<\/b><\/em><\/p> The pounding rhythms of Africa blended with the explosive energy of a 7-piece band.

It is a fantastic multi-cultural experience.<\/p> \u201cUbunye is a joyous celebration and proof, should it be needed, of the creative energy and unity possible when cultures meet through the medium of music. Rejoicing in their wide-ranging backgrounds, ages and styles, they were a surefire hit with the audience, uplifting the soul with their close vocal harmonies, undulating rhythms, and affirmative lyrics, and with a powerful facility to reach and affect listeners far beyond the reaches of jazz.\u201d <\/em>Steve Mead, Artistic Director, Manchester Jazz Festival<\/p> Ubunye’s website<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t Flute and strings trio<\/b><\/em><\/p> Classical recital from this flute, violin and viola trio fronted by Wainsgate favourite Meera Maharaj.
