Bringing a fresh perspective to Latin jazz the Alex Wilson Band comes to the Clocktower with music from Alex's latest recording project, Aventuras.
Pianist and band leader Alex Wilson, who won the BBC rising star jazz award in 2001, described his group as "a mix of Luther Allison and Albert King, crossed with Magic Sam and Jimi Hendrix" in a 2004 interview.
Alex's album, Aventuras, was released in late 2005 and takes listeners on a series of adventures around the Americas, Caribbean, improvised jazz with the folkloric music of Colombia, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Cuba.
Alex is joined by Emeris Solis on the congas, Luis Carlos Fuentes on drums and percussion and Rey Crespo on baby bass.
