American Milt Jackson was discovered by Dizzy Gillespie and played the vibes in his big band also working with Woody Herman, Charlie Parker and Thelonius Monk in his time. That experience led him to become a founder member of the renowned Modern Jazz Quartet (1952-74 – 1981-1993).
Cool jazz, swing, blues, bee-pop and classical will no doubt feature in the programme.
