Debop dedicated to memory of Jara

Victor Jara

This evening pianist and composer Steve Tromans brings his Debop Band into the Glee Club Studio in Birmingham to perform his Last Words Of Victor Jara.
Jara was a Chilean singer-songwriter, political activist and all-round charismatic good guy who was one of the many victims of the US-backed coup in that country that swept Pinochet to power. Tromans uses Jara texts read by Andrew Cowell, an American-Columbian the pianist worked with in Mongolia, as an integral part of the music and the band is completed by Chris Mapp on bass, Miles Levin on drums and Aaron Diaz on trumpet.
This is a Birmingham Jazz gig and starts at 8pm and tickets are available at www.glee.co.uk or on the door.
