*** Presented by Jazz Jurassica – bringing live jazz to Bridport Electric Palace ***
You know Take 5.
Even if you think you don’t, you do.
It’s the tune that broke all the rules and made jazz popular across the world.
But there’s a bigger story behind the music.
And that’s what makes The Brubeck Project such a brilliant live experience.
The Neil Maya Quartet return to Bridport Electric Palace for an afternoon packed with iconic tunes, fascinating stories and world-class jazz. This is more than a concert.
It’s a journey back to the golden age of cool jazz.
Neil Maya doesn’t simply play Dave Brubeck’s music. He tells the story behind it – how Brubeck transformed jazz in the 1950s, why his unusual rhythms shocked audiences, how Take 5 became one of the biggest jazz records ever made.
It’s relaxed, entertaining and full of surprises.
Perfect – whether you’re a lifelong jazz fan or just curious to discover what all the fuss is about.
