Description
With a 2024 Mercury Music Prize-nominated debut album, Bad With Names, under his belt, corto.alto is going from strength to strength.
corto.alto has been described as a traditional jazz head raised in the age of the internet, bringing a fresh perspective to a heady mix of intuitive improvisation, electronic production, broken beat bounce and bass-heavy dub.
It’s been an intense but rewarding few years for Shortall and his corto.alto project (the stage name a nod to his Irish-Spanish heritage, translating as ‘short.tall’ in Spanish).
His 2024 album, 30/108, saw him freely blend genre, tempo and instrumentation across 30 tracks, showcasing his flair for fast-thinking creativity, innovation and improvisation over a more rigid studio approach.
corto.alto’s blistering live shows see him turn band-leader, amongst his crew of hyper-talented musicians – all close friends and frequent collaborators – along with handling bass, synth, trombone and effects.
The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.
Presented by Southbank Centre.
