About the show

Guitarist James Kitchman brings dynamic, enthralling Contemporary Jazz music with a unique dark lustre. Kitchman’s compositions interweave poised melody, visceral rhythm, night sky static atmospheres and tsunami crescendos, realised through the cell level interplay of four of contemporary Jazz’s great imaginations. Modern music for everyone, looking in all directions.
