Big Sky Jazz Festival
Nigel Kennedy - The Winter Gardens, Margate - Friday 24th July. Nigel Kennedy is to open the Margate Big Sky Jazz Festival '09 with a spectacular concert of jazz music at the Margate Winter Gardens. This internationally famous artist is recognised as one of the greatest violinists of his generation, and is certainly one of the most versatile. Although very well known for his classical recordings (particularly Elgar's Violin Concerto and Vivaldi's 'The four Seasons') he has been infuenced by jazz artists from a very early age. Aged just 16, he was invited by Stephane Grapelli to appear with him at New York's Carnegie Hall. His latest release is an album entitled 'Blue Note Sessions'. This is an event not to be missed!
