Buck Clayton Legacy Band. Sunday March 27 - Hall Two 2:00pm.
This should be a worthy tribute to the late Count Basie trumpet star Buck Clayton. Broadcaster and writer of a Buck Clayton biography, Alyn Shipton not only introduces audio and video clips of the great man but also plays bass with the band.
The complete line-up is Patrick Artero, Bent Persson (tpts); Alan Barnes, Matthias Seuffert (reeds); Adrian Fry (tmb); Martin Litton (pno); Martin Wheatley (gtr); Alyn Shipton (bs); Norman Emberson (dms).
Away from the cutting edge end of The Festival the afternoon concert may well provide a chance to chill-out and reflect upon the music's roots.
As an added incentive Shipton has acquired some previously unrecorded arrangements by Buck Clayton.
And if that ain't enough to get you to the Box Office - the ubiquitous Alan Barnes is in the band!
Lance.
