Mambo Jambo and Joe Martin ‘Out Of The Box’ Commission Trinity Market Hull

We’ve been awarded a Special Commission by Arts Development Team, Hull City Council Arts, in conjunction with Hull Jazz Festival, to write some new music, and this will be the Premiere (!) before the Hull Jazz Festival concert Sat 18th Nov. Tickets are free but you need to book in advance. Tickets from Eventbrite here. There are five other commissions playing as part of the evening, with some fantastic collaborations and pieces of music! We’ve been very motivated by this commission and are looking forward to sharing our new music, plus hearing the contributions from the other musicians.

Graziana Presicce with Stewart Baxter: Intermundia (classical piano and electro)

Josh Overton, Kobby Taylor & Aaron Green: The Battle of Blair Mountain (hip-hop meets C&W)

Stephanie Halsey (harp) with Beats Bus; Kobby Taylor: Our Love (love story inspired by Maya Angelou & Elizabeth Browning

Frankie Banham, Pete Jack & Joe Martin: Mambo Jambo (a wildly eclectic mix of latin, jazz, folk, Balkan and classical fusion flavoured by flamenco rhythms!)

Samatar Elmi with local singers: A Darker Light (spoken word and choral arrangements)
