Jazz on a Winter's Weekend 2015 - Fringe Music
Unfurl
Unfurl are a five piece band which combines Indian Ragas, contemporary jazz, flamenco and Arabic rhythms to create an uplifting fusion and an original sound. The band played Liverpool and Manchester Jazz festivals in the Summer. It’s not ‘world’, it’s not ‘folk’. It is most definitely ‘jazz’ with a multicultural take. It just had to be with Gavin on board!
Thanks to Jazz North’s ‘Northern Line’ for supporting this group. Conservatory Bar, Friday 12.15pm-1.30pm
