Euro Tour Part 1
We’ve had a blast touring all over Europe! In Belgrade, we performed for hundreds of listeners and a few of the world’s top Jazz journalists. From there we went on to Cork, where it was up to us to keep the dance floor popping. Then, we hopped over to London for our debut at the original Pizza Express, where we were given a lovely review by London Jazz News and stopped in at Jazz FM to talk about the new album. That was followed by Sandvika, where we brought a festive Halloween twist to Bærum Kulturhus. Then, we received a beautifully warm reception at Jazztage Dresden. Last night, we were treated to world-class hospitality in Prague, and tonight we return to Berlin’s Jazzclub A-Trane to wrap up the first leg of this tour. It’s been grand!!!
