A gig on Thursday 13th February. The event starts at 20:30.
We welcome “Yetii” to The Greenbank for this very special gig featuring UK jazz great Pete Judge.
Pete has been an influential member of the thriving South West jazz scene for over 40 years. His band 'Get the Blessing' won Album of the Year in the 2008 BBC Jazz Awards and he has played or recorded with artists including Massive Attack, This is the Kit, John Parish and Mesadorm at venues including Glastonbury and the Royal Albert Hall. Pete is also a prolific composer, recording 3 original solo piano albums as well as writing for theatre, radio and TV and appearing (briefly) in the film ‘anna karenina’ (joe wright 2012)!
“Pete Judge is a Bristol music phenomenon” BBC Radio 3
“The excellent Pete Judge sounds somewhere between the late Don Cherry and the UK’s Harry Beckett” The Guardian
“fluent and wildly inventive improvisers” London Jazz News
“a performance that both enthralled and delighted the audience ★★★★★” The Jazz Mann
Pete Judge - trumpet, flugehorn
