THEATRE Royal Winchester is delighted to welcome back jazz legend Courtney Pine to the stage tomorrow.

The ground-breaking multi-instrumentalist will showcase work from his latest album House of Legends which recently won the Jazzwise Album of the Year Award and features an exhilarating mix of merengue, ska, mento and calypso.

The show will see Courtney return to the instrument he is best known for, the saxophone, and features his soprano sax exclusively for the first time. The UK born artist’s strong Afro-Caribbean roots are reflected in a broad jazz style that has made the genre accessible to a wider audience and secured his place as one of the most influential figures on the contemporary jazz scene.

Musicians from Africa, the Caribbean and Europe are brought together in what is a very personal project for Pine, resulting in vibrant exchanges that tell tales of life from a truly multicultural point of view.

n FOLK music old and new is the main feature of Havant Chamber Orchestra’s first concert of 2013 at Ferneham Hall in Fareham tomorrow.

One English and three Austrian composers are involved and the music has timeless popularity.

Austrian composer Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante in E flat highlights the Orchestra’s leader Brian Howells and principal viola Rebecca Hill as soloists.

The wind section of the Orchestra will shine in Gordon Jacob’s Old Wine in New Bottles – a modern metamorphosis of British folk-tunes including the Wraggle Taggle Gypsies and Begone, Dull Care! The remaining Austrians are Schubert and a tribute to the esteemed Rossini and Haydn.

Peter Craddock’s mobility problems prevent him from conducting the concert and his place will be taken at relatively short notice by Robin Browning, conductor of the Petersfield Orchestra and Southampton University Symphony Orchestra.

n AUSTRALIAN piano trio Trichotomy really need no introduction. Over the course of two compelling albums, they have carved out a reputation as one of the most exciting trios in contemporary jazz combining the lyricism of EST and the energy levels of The Bad Plus while nonetheless finding their own unique voice.

Trichotomy are pianist Sean Foran, percussionist John Parker and double bassist Patrick Marchisella.

Inspired by a diverse range of influences from Aphex Twin to Vijay Iyer, and John Zorn to Tord Gustavsen, Trichotomy’s music combines a dense rhythmic focus with a refined melodic clarity.

On their brilliant new album Fact Finding Mission the core trio is joined by Tunji Beier on percussion, Linsey Pollak on reeds, and guitarist James Muller allowing the band to draw on influences including elements from the European and Indian Folk traditions.

Trichotomy perform at Southampton’s Turner Sims tomorrow night.
