About Edinburgh Jazz and Blues Festival: Martin Kershaw Octet: Poets

Listed Under Music Events / Nights Out Events

When EJBF last commissioned Martin Kershaw there was a huge buzz – The Herald said ‘spontaneous standing ovation for a previously unheard 50 minute jazz work would be worthy of note at any time … and was more than inspiring in itself’.

Now Kershaw turns his musical focus to poets who have inspired him. Some of Scotland’s finest jazz musicians are featured including Paul Harrison (piano), Calum Gourlay (bass) and Graeme Stephen (guitar).
