It’s ‘Guest Band Week’ this Sunday at The Jazz Meet, and this month we bring you a very special line up. Fresh from his recent début album ‘Daybreak’, pianist, composer and drummer Hamish Balfour drops into Floripa with his trio to perform two sets of live music in a funky Latin jazz style. As an added bonus, Italian vocalist Valentina Russo will be joining the band to add her own veritable twist to few contemporary favourites. Joining us on the decks this week, we also welcome acclaimed British trumpeter and Gondwana Records label boss Matthew Halsall, who will be swapping his beloved trumpet for his DJ box and playing us some of his current jazz finds. Also on the DJ bill will be resident DJ Sid Ford, who will once again be delivering the platters that matter before, after and in between the band sets. 5pm-12am. Free entry all evening.
