Band On The Wall, Quaytickets Mon, 7th June 2010 - Mon, 7th June 2010 From £12.50*This collaboration between the great French jazz trumpeter Erik Truffaz and the extraordinary funk/soul/blues beatbox stylings of Simple Spirit's vocalist Sly Johnson has thrilled audiences across the world. Erik Truffaz mines the world to create his unique form of jazz - the so-called 'European sounds' are really the sounds of the global village in the digital age. Fusing these world, electronic and ambient influences with an ongoing love for the music of Miles Davis and an incredible minimalist style, has led to a sound that is all his own and exemplified beautifully in this wonderful partnership with Sly Johnson (aka The Mic Buddah/The Beatboxologist) - a member of the acclaimed French rap collective Saian Supa Crew. Band on the Wall is now delighted to bring this sensational duo to its Manchester stage. "Truffaz plays less like Miles than a jazz-rock [Brian] Eno, making rapturous atmospheres from a minimum of notes ... a jazz with brawn, soul and plenty of wide open space." - David Fricke This concert will begin at 8pm
