ILUMETRIS - Official Album Launch!

OFFICIAL ALBUM LAUNCH - kicking off the first half of ILUMETRIS' UK/European Tour in their home city of Manchester!

An intimate performance from some of Manchester's world class contemporary Jazz musicians, in the city's most exciting new venue: Low Four Studio.

Internationally award-winning saxophonist/composer Tom Thorp presents his new quintet ILUMETRIS and their stunning new album: "Here, There be Monsters…"

Blending fiery, virtuosic jazz improvisations with complex texture and poignant lyricism, ILUMETRIS celebrate the creatures and characters of world mythology through engaging musical narrative. Joining Tom’s distinctive saxophonic voice, the unique sound of trumpeter Neil Yates and an energetic, endlessly engaging rhythm section of Andy Stamatakis-Brown (Alice Zawadski, Manchester Jazz Collective, Gypsies of Bohemia), Grant Russell (Go-Go Penguin) and John Arnesen (Ancient Infinity Orchestra).

Expect humour, darkness, tenderness and vivid story telling in a night of stunning new jazz music.
