Jerry Dammers' Spatial A.K.A Orchestra
The Specials and 2 Tone founder Jerry Dammers funk and dub influenced arrangements of his selections from cosmic jazz , reggae, exotica and library music, have formed backdrops for some of the country s finest jazz improvisers, in his highly acclaimed orchestra. New selections paying homage to a variety of futurist musical dreamers, adaptations of Dammers own songs, and a small amount of original material, are now moving the orchestra beyond its "Sun Ra Tribute band" starting point. The 20 piece orchestra will include Jason Yarde, Denys Baptiste, Finn Peters, Nathaniel Facey, Larry Stubbings, Shabaka Hutchings, Robin Hopcraft, Harry Brown and Terry Edwards brass; Anthony Joseph and Francine Luce vocals; Alcyona Mick piano; Roger Beaujolais vibes; Patrick Illingworth drums and Crispin Spry percussion. Check the Barbican website for the final line-up.
