BBC Radio 3 - Jazz on 3, Troyk-estra

British large ensemble Troykestra performs at the 2013 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Another chance to hear Troykestra in a performance given at the 2013 Cheltenham Jazz Festival. With Chris Montague (guitar), Kit Downes (keyboard) and Josh Blackmore (drums).

A second chance to hear one of the most talked about British performances of the last few years - the 18-piece ensemble Troyk-estra in performance at the 2013 Cheltenham Jazz Festival.

Just as its parent trio Troyka does, the band looks beyond jazz for its inspiration, working rock and electronica into confrontational grooves. And there's still space for Troyka to strut their stuff as a trio within the big band, with Chris Montague on guitar, Kit Downes on keys and Josh Blackmore at the drums.
