Cleveland Watkiss: The Great Jamaican Songbook
Start time: 7.30pm
The great jazz singer celebrates Jamaicas long history of pioneering musical sounds. Cleveland will be performing live with full band at The Salisbury Playhouse on 29th May as part of the International Arts Festival. March 2022 marks the launch of ‘The Great Jamaican Songbook’ album and tour, the new project by multidisciplinary artist Cleveland Watkiss MBE. A truly inspirational figure in UK music and recent winner of the 2021 Ivors Composer Award For Innovation, Watkiss’ impact and legacy is felt strongly across an extremely broad spectrum of musical genres. In jazz, he is known as the co-founder of the hugely influential Jazz Warriors big band, as well as his work with the pianist and composer Julian Joseph and as a much-respected solo artist, regularly performing at leading venues both in the UK and internationally.
