Secret Belfast is happy to help out our friends at Moving on Music in spreading the word about the brilliant Kit Downes Trio upcoming performance in Belfast.
The trio’s debut album ‘Golden’ was one of only twelve UK and Irish records to be selected for the prestigious 2010 Mercury Music Prize ‘Album of the Year’ title.
Some more information about KDT from the Moving on Music press release:
“Featuring phenomenal jazz pianist Kit Downes, award-winning bassist Calum Gourlay and rising drum star James Maddren, this terrific trio perform original music inspired by a range of influences, from Bela Bartok, to Keith Jarrett, to Rufus Wainwright.”
“A student of the Purcell School of Music and the Royal Academy of Music, pianist/composer Kit Downes exploded onto the British jazz scene playing with acts such as Empirical, Troyka, Fraud and Acoustic Ladyland. He then went on to win the BBC Jazz Award for Rising Star in 2008, as well as a prestigious Yamaha Scholarship in 2009.
“Now, Kit has moved on to his own trio project, which sees him link up with his two Royal Academy colleagues - Calum Gourlay on bass and James Maddren on drums. Playing together since 2005, Downes, Gourlay and Maddren display a level of understanding and intelligence that can only come from working closely together for a number of years.”
The performance will take place at the Sonic Arts Research Centre, Belfast on Saturday 25th September. Doors open at 8.00pm and tickets priced £10 and £7 are on sale now from www.movingonmusic.co.uk and Belfast Welcome Centre (028 9024 6609).
