JITR March: The W feat. Maria Chiara Argirò + more TBA
The W featuring Maria Chiara Argirò - Mikrokosmos
Described by the Guardian as 'eclectic, eccentric and unobtrusively erudite', pianist Dr. Bruno Heinen is equally at home supporting Lee Konitz or Roy Hargrove at the Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club as he is playing with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Barbican conducted by Sir Simon Rattle. The W, features Heidi Vogel (Cinematic Orchestra) on vocals, Andrea Di Biase (Kenny Wheeler) on bass, and Gene Calderazzo (Pharoah Sanders, Freddie Hubbard) on drums. They will be performing material from their forthcoming album inspired by Bartók's Mikrokosmos, using cells and ideas taken from book 6 of this work, as well as lyrics in the form of quotes from Bartók himself. The record has been lovingly produced by jazz/electronica artist Maria Chiara Argirò.
