Miles at 100 ft. Martin-Lockett Quintet

Join the Martin-Lockett Quintet for an evening celebrating the centenary of the "Prince of Darkness". Bridging two generations of British jazz, "visionary" trumpeter Alistair Martin (Tom Smith, Shirley Smart) and legendary saxophonist Mornington Lockett (Ronnie Scott, Stan Tracey) explore the chameleonic legacy of Miles Davis. From the iconic cool of the 1950s to the fiery innovations of his later eras, this is a powerhouse tribute to an icon of style, and restless reinvention. Mornington Lockett Saxophonist, composer, arranger and teacher Mornington Lockett studied at Dartington College of Arts, gaining a first class honours degree, before moving to London to attend the Guildhall School of Music And Drama as a post-graduate.
