Louis Durra Trio to play Eyemouth

(Press release)
Berlin-based Californian pianist Louis Durra takes his trio to Eyemouth Hippodrome, eight miles north of the England-Scotland border, on Saturday 26 November.

Durra, who scored an unexpected college radio hit in the U.S. with his 2012 release, The Best of All Possible Worlds, has gained a cult audience in the UK thanks to his appearances at the Edinburgh Fringe and his jazz interpretations of songs by a range of artists including Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, Radiohead, White Stripes, KT Tunstall, and electronica group Boards of Canada.

His Edinburgh Fringe debut in 2011 resulted in him winning a Herald Angel, one of the statuettes awarded by Glasgow-based newspaper The Herald for excellence in performance, and he has subsequently played at Celtic Connections in Glasgow and at Pizza Express in Dean Street, Soho.

The Eyemouth concert is one of a series of dates Durra is playing with Scottish musicians, drummer Doug Hough, from the Glasgow collective Elusive Tree, and bassist Euan Burton, who is known to jazz fans in the Bebop Spoken Here heartlands and beyond through appearances with his own quartet and New York players Ari Hoenig, Gilad Hekselman, Will Vinson, and Jonathan Kreisberg. 
They will also be appearing at The Jazz Bar, Edinburgh (Wednesday 23^rd November), Blue Lamp, Aberdeen (Thursday 24^th November) and Arlington Baths Club, Glasgow (Friday 25^th November).
