(Press release)
The award-winning saxophonist and
leading light in London’s thriving Jazz scene, Binker Golding is
set to perform in Teesside this month as part of his European tour.
Binker Golding and his band will be
headlining an afternoon of genre-bending contemporary jazz at Middlesbrough
Town Hall on Sunday 17th November.
UK Jazz has been undergoing an
exciting revival over the past few years with young musicians bringing
something truly new and unique to the genre. London-based Binker Golding has
been at the forefront of this movement since his breakthrough as one half of
the MOBO Award winning duo, ‘Binker and Moses’, along with fellow musician and
drummer Moses Boyd.
Following a sold-out launch party at
the iconic Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in September, Golding released his latest
solo album, ‘Abstractions of Reality Past & Incredible Feathers’ to
critical acclaim.
Joining Binker is the up and coming
electronic-soul trio, Noya Rao. Fresh out of Leeds College of Music, the band
have earned support from tastemakers including Gilles Peterson and Jamie
Cullum. Support comes from local rising talent The Francis Tulip Quartet.
Speaking ahead of the show, lead
programmer Ros Rigby said:
“These are all incredible musicians
who are keen for their music to appeal to a broad audience.
“Every music form needs to develop
and involve younger musicians, which is why we chose to invite bands from the
younger generation. They’re all great examples of how jazz as a genre is moving
forward.”
The Sunday afternoon show is part of
Middlesbrough Town Hall’s ambitious programme of jazz, taking place each month.
Be sure to stay tuned for the Town Hall’s future jazz concerts, including Paul
Edis’ Jazzy Christmas (Dec 15th), Burns Night Jazz Special (19th January),
Arun Ghosh (Feb 16th) and Nikki Iles Orchestra (March 29th).
Binker Golding (ft. Noya Rao and the
Francis Tulip Qartet) will perform at Middlesbrough Town Hall on Sunday 17th November
from 2pm.
Tickets can be purchased for £12
(subject to the normal booking fees) and all under 14s must be accompanied by
an adult.
