RNCM Big Band with Steve Waterman - Concerto for Cootie

2nd piece in our gig with Steve Waterman

For the first of two Autumn shows, the RNCM Big Band is joined by one of Britain's top jazz trumpet players, Steve Waterman. Steve began his career while studying at Trinity College of Music and since then has worked with an incredible range of musicians, including John Surman, Carla Bley, Andy Sheppard and Colin Towns (who incidentally plays with our Big Band on 14 December). Tonight Steve will celebrate the history of jazz through the compositions of trumpet greats such as Louis Armstrong, Bix Beiderbecke and Miles Davis. He will also play some original pieces which he wrote as a commission for The Voice of the North Jazz Orchestra. Influenced by Steve's travels, these original works conjure up tango, Cuban and calypso styles.
