Sat 8 Dec 07, 8:00pm ADRIANO ADEWALE GROUP Lakeside Theatre, University of Essex, Colchester Expect a fresh fusion of jazz and world grooves from renowned Brazilian percussionist Adriano Adewale and his new quartet. Featuring Australian Nathan Thomson on bass, Brazilian Marcelo Andrade on Saxes, flute and violin and Kadialy Kouyate from Senegal on Kora this promises to be a truly international evening of music from an outstanding ensemble. A member of Antonio Forcione's Quartet Adriano is regularly sought out to play with some of the top jazz and world music artists working in the UK today. As a percussionist he is known for his whirlwind yet sensitive approach on an extraordinary array of instruments as his music takes the audience from Rio to Soho to Lagos in a testament to his many musical influences. A new album is planned for late 2007. "Adriano Adewale boast an imposing collection of firepower yet deploys it with rare restraint."
