Blue7Jazz French Summer Tour et CD
<p>
<strong>We plan a one week Winter tour in Nantes in December, and we are recording a CD.</strong></p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
We are in our early twenties, we love Jazz, and we have the privilege of studying with the best in UK's top conservatoires (Trinity Laban, Guildhall School of Music, Birmingham Conservatoire).</p>

<p>
We share a common taste for jazz, especially when it’s elegant, dynamic, and accessible.</p>
<p>
We decided to compose, arrange and perform together in a common project: the Blue 7 Jazz Sextet.</p>
<p>
From Oscar Peterson to Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Jason Rebello or Jamie Cullum, our influences are varied, always full of groove and emotion.</p>

Our piano player Greg Evain is French, the rest of us is 100% British.</p>
<p>
To broaden our experiences and share our music, we decided to organize a one week winter tour in Nantes in December, and to record a CD.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
Our dream is to play as much as possible, to meet lots of people, to share emotions.</p>
<p>
Going on tour is the opportunity to do just that and to prepare for the life ahead of us as musicians.</p>
