Event information

In January 1937, one of the great musical partnerships began in the New York recording studios, when Billie Holiday teamed up with trumpeter Buck Clayton and members of Teddy Wilson\'s band. For much of the next twenty-two years, Buck and Billie continued to play and record together.
The Buck Clayton Legacy Band is joined by vocalist Julia Biel, one of the UK\'s leading singers and also a brilliant Billie Holiday interpreter, to explore that musical treasure trove. There will be favourites from \"Back In Your Own Back Yard\" to \"Good Morning Heartache\" and Teddy Wilson-style charts of some of the numbers that Billie only recorded with big band or orchestra, plus emotional punch with pieces such as \"God Bless The Child\".
The band is co-led by bassist and broadcaster Alyn Shipton and German saxophonist Matthias Seuffert, and it features Ian Smith, trumpet, Adrian Fry, trombone, Alan Barnes, reeds, Jonathan Vinten, piano and Bobby Worth, drums.

Start time 7:30pm
Unreserved seating within ticket block.
