Progressive Soundscape Jazz Night Featuring Enrico Merlin & BEJE – Fri 25th Oct

Doors 7.30pm. Start 8.00pm. Adv ticket £15. OTD ticket £19.

At CICCIC we love that jazz has so many sub-genres, and when creativity takes hold it can create new forms that are hard to define but create live music experiences that are hard to forget. This event with some of the best jazz players in the industry will be doing just that.

Progressive and thrilling ‘soundscape’ jazz: music without boundaries.

World-class guitar-jazz at its most dynamic, playful, impressionist, and innovative; evocative and electrifying sonic worlds fizzing with surprises, and turning from delicate cinematic dreamscapes to fierce maelstroms of music. Every performance is unique and unrepeatable.

From Milano, Italy, guitarist-composer Enrico Merlin is a powerhouse improviser of boundless invention, and an acclaimed Miles Davis authority. He plays rich, complex and restlessly curious contemporary jazz, here underpinned by the superb musicianship of global-jazz collective BEJE, the British European Jazz Ensemble.

A leading voice in Italy’s jazz and improv scene, Enrico’s signature guitar sound, astonishing technique, distinctive composing vision, and freely spontaneous playing, are justly acclaimed. Journey into the great musical unknown; this is exploratory music of rare and intense beauty, infused with wonder.
