No-one embodies the dramatic transformation of British Jazz over the past few years better than sax player Courtney Pine. Direct from the London Jazz Festival this is the first national tour of Courtney Pine’s new work Europa, a mammoth, musical history charting the birth of Europe. With inspiration from Gregorian chants, the warmth of Mediterranean music and the evocative melodies of the far north, Courtney traces a series of stepping stones that lead to the sounds of today's European generations. Pine has assembled a heavyweight musical line-up that includes Zoe Rahman on Piano and Cuban violin star Omar Puente.
