Dave Douglas
April-May 2014
A magnificent duo take to the stage in Leeds this Spring as the Howard Assembly Room’s jazz programme brings you two of the great pioneers of American jazz: Dave Douglas and Uri Caine.
Two highly influential jazz musicians from across the pond, distinguished trumpeter Dave Douglas and keyboard wizard Uri Caine unite in a compelling evening of vivacious, fierce and phenomenal playing. Jaw-droppingly talented, the duo will treat you to a special selection of songs, hymns and improvisations ahead of their 2014 CD release in summer 2014. Having worked together in various forms for over 30 years, their new album and tour brings out the very best of their collaboration.
True improvisers, you never know where the night may take you so get booking those tickets now.
