Roland Perrin's Blue Planet Orchestra

“Perrin [has] a unique musical voice that merits wide recognition” LondonJazz News
​
“An excellent…pianist and gifted writer…clever...bright and witty…terrific” Jazz Review
​
Equally schooled in Latin, African, Brazilian and jazz music, musician, composer & educator Roland Perrin’s many impressive achievements include the full-length opera for choir and jazz band Lansky which was received with significant acclaim, and the 300 strong choral, jazz/Brazilian tour de force Rio Amazonas, which had its Barbican premiere in 2018.
​
Tonight, as Roland puts it, “expect a kaleidoscope of world music grooves filtered through a satisfying mix of jazz freedom and compositional narrative”, which will be expressed with both original material, as well as surprising re-workings of classic repertoire including “Charlie Parker in New Orleans style, Schubert in Jamaica and the Beatles in an Afro-Cuban mood”!

Joining Roland will be his Blue Planet Orchestra, comprised of London’s most accomplished musicians. A fascinating and engaging musical journey!
