Sat 21 March 09, Doors 8:00pm Concert 8:30pm INGRID LAUBROCK QUINTET Lakeside Theatre, University of Essex Led by BBC Jazz Award winner Ingrid Laubrock on soprano and tenor sax this outstanding quintet includes Basquiat Strings improvising cellist Ben Davis; Stuart Richie on drums, pianist Barry Green and double bassist Larry Bartley. The stellar line-up was described as ‘heavenly’ by Chris May of ‘All About Jazz’, and made a deep impression at last years’ Cheltenham Jazz Festival where they played to a sold out house on two consecutive days. Through years of playing together, this quintet has achieved an almost mystical degree of interaction and interplay; and while much emphasis is on improvisation, the musicians never loose track of Ingrid Laubrock’s compositions. www.ingridlaubrock.com Tickets: £12 / £8 concessions Box Office provided by the Mercury Theatre Box Office: Mercury Theatre Balkerne Gate Colchester CO1 1PT Tel: 01206 573948 www.mercurytheatre.co.uk
