Description

**Multi-instrumentalist and jazz saxophonist Kamasi Washington pays tribute to John Coltrane and Miles Davis in celebration of their 100th birthday.**

Join Washington for a special set merging the most notable songs of two legends of jazz into a concert experience that reimagines their iconic work.

Washington is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and bandleader born and raised in Los Angeles.

His four bodies of work to date – *The Epic; Harmony of Difference*, an EP originally commissioned for the 2017 Whitney Biennial; *Heaven and Earth*; and *Fearless Movement* – have attracted widespread acclaim and seen Washington lauded as the new face of jazz.

*Kamasi Washington: Jazz Legends Reimagined* is not the first time Washington has brought his own spin to the work of other iconic artists. In 2021, Washington contributed a cover of Metallica’s ‘My Friend of Misery’ to the band’s *Metallica Blacklist* covers project.

Washington’s artistic reach expands beyond his solo career to numerous collaborative projects across music and onto the screen. He’s co-founder of the supergroup Dinner Party; has won two Grammy Awards for co-production and co-writing on Kendrick Lamar’s GNX album; collaborated with Herbie Hancock and Florence + The Machine; and written an Emmy and Grammy-nominated score for the Michelle Obama documentary *Becoming*.

*The ticket price includes a £2 venue restoration levy.*
