What's on

Courtney Pine dons his curator’s hat for the first ever Destin-e Records weekender with three special nights of contemporary jazz showcasing artists from his own record label. Performances are from the label’s award-winning rising stars Empirical, acclaimed Cuban electric violinist Omar Puente, and distinctive London–based guitarist Cameron Pierre. (Now replace with Nikki Yeoh) “…It’s very much about the future; if you want to know what the progressive jazzers of tomorrow are likely to sound like, just tune in to what the eclectic Pine and his peers are up to today.” Metro

Voted Best Jazz Musician of The Year by The Independent and a semi-finalist at the prestigious Montreux Jazz Piano competition, Pianist Nikki Yeoh has performed Worldwide with her own band 'Infinitum' , guested with a range of artists as diverse as Roy Ayers, I.G Culture, Jools Holland, Eddie Harris, Jean Carne and The Roots and toured regularly as a member of Courtney Pine's band in the 1990's.

She brings a trio featuring the supremely talented Mondesir brothers, Mark on Drums and Michael on Bass to Stage2 at The Stables as part of Courtney Pine's Destin-e Weekender on Thursday 30th October 2008.
