London Jazz Festival
Ian McMillan brings the cabaret of language to the audience of the London Jazz Festival with a new piece, especially commissioned by The Verb from saxophonist Gilad Atzmon , who has just published his first novel, A Guide to the Perplexed. There is jazz storytelling and Peter Blegvad returns with a new jazz
'eartoon'. Ian McMillan and his guests explore the relationship of jazz with words and the whole concept of improvisation and inspiration, and he presents the programme with a sax accompaniment which might be swing, bebop, or even acid.
