Lineup and details for Jerry Dammers' Spatial A.K.A Orchestra on Friday 18th November 2011
Following their highly acclaimed national tour and appearances at Glastonbury and on Later with Jools Holland, Jerry Dammers Spatial AKA Orchestra return to play a London date at the Barbican.
The Specials and 2 Tone founder Jerry Dammers funk and dub influenced arrangements of his selections from cosmic jazz, reggae, exotica and library music, have formed backdrops for some of the countrys finest jazz improvisers, in his highly acclaimed orchestra.
Orchestra favourites, new selections paying homage to a variety of futurist musical dreamers, adaptations of Dammers own songs, and a small amount of original material, are now moving the orchestra beyond its Sun Ra Tribute band starting point. Alternative musical styles, not always associated with jazz (from rock to jungle or dubstep) are also somewhere in the mix.
Featuring: Jason Yarde, Denys Baptiste, Larry Stabbins, Nathaniel Facey, Shabaka Hutchings, Terry Edwards (saxes), Finn Peters (flute), Robin Hopcraft (trumpet), Harry Brown (trombone), Anthony Joseph (vocals), Francine Luce (vocals), Alcyona Mick (piano), Roger Beaujolais (vibes), Larry Bartley (double bass), Patrick Illingworth (drums), Crispin Spry Robinson (percussion), Steve Gibson (percussion), Ollie Bayley (electric bass), Patrick Hatchett, Guy Clarke (guitars), Jerry Dammers (keyboards).
